| 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). |
