  Description     : Automatic Differentiation (AD) of C++ algorithms

Given a C++ algorithm that computes function values, CppAD generates an
algorithm that computes its exact derivative values.

CppAD is used in a number of scientific computing applications to automate the
computation of exact derivatives of codes implemented in C++. It is a pure
header library with no binaries. CppAD is similar in concept to the adolc
package already in Debian. I intend to co-maintain with Barak Pearlmutter under
Debian Science.
