    In mathematics and computer algebra, automatic differentiation (auto-differentiation, autodiff, or AD), also called algorithmic differentiation, computational differentiation, and differentiation arithmetic[1][2][3][4] is a set of techniques to evaluate the partial derivative of a function specified by a computer program. Automatic differentiation enables the simultaneous computation of the numerical values of arbitrarily complex functions and their derivatives using only the function itself; no
