A Package for Differentiation of C++ Algorithms

Purpose
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 (AD); often referred to as automatic differentiation. Given a C++ algorithm that computes function values, CppAD generates an algorithm that computes corresponding derivative values (of arbitrary order using either forward or reverse mode). A brief introduction to AD can be found at wikipedia . The web site autodiff.org is dedicated to research about, and promoting the use of, AD.
