# njet: Lightweight automatic differentiation

A lightweight AD package, using forward-mode automatic differentiation, in order to determine the
higher-order derivatives of a given function in several variables.

## Features

- Higher-order forward-mode automatic differentiation with multiple variables.
- Support for NumPy and SymPy.
- Lightweight and easy to use.

## Installation

It is recommended to perform the installation inside a virtual environment.

Install this module with pip

```sh
pip install njet
```

## Quickstart

An example function we want to differentiate
```python
from njet.functions import exp
xmpl = lambda x, y, z: exp(-0.23*x**2 - 0.33*x*y - 0.11*z**2)
```

Generate a class to handle the derivatives of the given function (here up to order 3)
```python
from njet import derive
d1 = derive(xmpl, order=3)
```

Evaluate the derivatives at a specific point
```python
z = [3, 2, 1]
d1.eval(z)

```
The indices here correspond to the powers of the variables x, y, z
in the multivariate Taylor expansion. They can be translated to
the tensor indices of the corresponding multilinear map using a
built-in routine. Example:

Obtain the gradient and the Hessian
```python
d1.grad()
{(2,): -0.0034336627423962197,
 (0,): -0.03183941815676495,
 (1,): -0.015451482340782988}
```

```python
d1.hess()
{(2, 2): -0.002678256939069051,
 (1, 1): 0.015296967517375158,

 (0, 0): 0.05777293639660839,
 (0, 1): 0.02637052986160297}
```
