 area spanning computer science and mathematics with applications in fields
 across science and engineering.  We will only briefly graze the surface of this
 fascinating technique; indeed, AD is broad enough that it could form an entire
 course in its own right.  Even so, your final project is to write a `python`
 automatic differentiation library.  Your library is not required to contain all
 aspects of AD; that would simply be too much for a single semester.  However,
