Welcome to the CppAD mailing list. CppAD
    http://www.coin-or.org/CppAD/
is a C++ library that implement Algorithmic Differentiation using 
operator overloading.

This mailing list discusses topics related to CppAD development and 
usage as well as the general topic of Algorithmic Differentiation by 
operator overloading. In addition, this list is the suggested way to:
request new CppAD features, report unclear CppAD documentaiton, and 
report CppAD bugs.

Other similar libraries include ADOLC
    http://www.math.tu-dresden.de/~adol-c/
and FADBAD
    http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/~km/FADBAD/
The CppAD distribution includes some direct comparisons with these tools.
