// Description:  Pure abstract class adding derrivative functions needed
//  for kalman tracking.  This shouldn't be inherited directly, but is
//  instead brought in either through TrkSimpTraj or TrkDifPieceTraj.
//
// Environment:
//      Software developed for the BaBar Detector at the SLAC B-Factory.
