Example domain paragraphs

MAD (Matlab Automatic Differentiation) is a professionally maintained and developed automatic differentiation tool for Matlab. Many new features are added continuously since the development and additions are made in close cooperation with the user base.

Automatic differentiation is generally defined as (after Andreas Griewank, Evaluating Derivatives - Principles and Techniques of Algorithmic Differentiation, SIAM 2000):

"Algorithmic, or automatic, differentiation (AD) is concerned with the accurate and efficient evaluation of derivatives for functions defined by computer programs. No truncation errors are incurred, and the resulting numerical derivative values can be used for all scientific computations that are based on linear, quadratic, or even higher order approximations to nonlinear scalar or vector functions."
