Algorithmic differentiation

Hallo, algorithmic differentiation differs from symbolic differentiation as well as numerical. In practice, it takes existing code (i.e., it does not do symbolic math in a new language) and computes the derivative of that function. As you may suspect Lisp is very suitable for AD. So, I'm trying to i...
