+Struct representing a [`FreeParameterExpression`](@ref), which can be used in symbolic computations. 
+Instances of [`FreeParameterExpression`](@ref) can represent symbolic expressions involving [`FreeParameter`](@ref), 
+such as mathematical expressions with undetermined values.
+
+This type is often used in combination with [`FreeParameter`](@ref), which represents individual [`FreeParameter`](@ref).
