In my book, its a great week if you learn something new on the first day of the week. A few weeks back I stumbled upon automatic differentiation and dual numbers.
Fascinated I decided to explore these two topics and actually coded this Fortran module to do some basic operations with dual numbers.
What are dual numbers?
They are like complex numbers with a twist.

Meanwhile here’s the Fortran module for using dual numbers. Still in early development. I hope to take this up latter when I have some more time.
