CppAD: A Package for Differentiation of C++ Algorithms
We refer to the step by step conversion from an algorithm that computes function values to an algorithm that computes derivative values as Algorithmic Differentiation (often referred to as Automatic Differentiation.) Given a C++ algorithm that computes function values, CppAD generates an algorithm that computes its derivative values. A brief introduction to Algorithmic Differentiation can be found in wikipedia. The CppAD documentation also contains an introduction to AD as well as the mathematical theory for CppAD's calculations. The web site autodiff.org is dedicated to research about, and promoting the use, of AD.
