Base::DualNumber Class Reference

Dual Numbers aer 2-part numbers like complex numbers, but different algebra. They are denoted as a + b*eps, where eps^2 = 0. eps, the nilpotent, is like imaginary unit of complex numbers. The neat utility of dual numbers is that if you use them instead of normal numbers in a function like sin(), derivative is implicitly calculated as a multiplier to the dual part. More...
