  ries-rs is a Rust implementation of Robert Munafo's RIES (RILYBOT Inverse
  Equation Solver) program. Given a numeric target value, it searches for
  algebraic equations that have the target as a solution. Features include
  parallel search, automatic differentiation for Newton-Raphson refinement,
  user-defined constants and functions, multiple output formats, and
  reproducible deterministic mode for research applications.
