Usage

Importing the Package

To use the package:

import dual_autodiff as df
from dual_autodiff.dual import Dual
from dual_autodiff.functions import sin, cos, log

Creating Dual Numbers

x = Dual(2, 1)  # Represents the dual number 2 + 1ε

Performing Operations

# Example: f(x) = log(sin(x)) + x^2 * cos(x)
f_x = log(sin(x)) + x**2 * cos(x)
print(f_x)  # Output the result and its derivative
