* Warning : this should NOT be confused with automatic differentiation, which
2009-11-09 11:52:47 +08:00
* is a different method and has its own module in Eigen : \ref
* AutoDiff_Module.

* Currently only "Forward" and "Central" schemes are implemented. Those
2009-11-09 11:21:45 +08:00
* are basic methods, and there exist some more elaborated way of
* computing such approximates. They are implemented using both
* proprietary and free software, and usually requires linking to an
* external library. It is very easy for you to write a functor
* using such software, and the purpose is quite orthogonal to what we
* want to achieve with Eigen.
*
* This is why we will not provide wrappers for every great numerical
* differentiation software that exist, but should rather stick with those
2009-11-09 11:21:45 +08:00
* basic ones, that still are useful for testing.
*
2009-11-11 04:33:36 +08:00
* Also, the \ref NonLinearOptimization_Module needs this in order to
2009-11-09 11:21:45 +08:00
* provide full features compatibility with the original (c)minpack
* package.
