Analytic differentiation by computer

ABSTRACT

During the past few years a major portion of the work in computer applications has been concentrated in the two closely related fields of automatic programming and symbol manipulation. The results of this effort have been a wealth of new computer languages, a better understanding and definition of the basic principles and problems of symbol manipulation, and a growing body of algorithms and techniques for use in the applications.
