dual: Automatic Differentiation with Dual Numbers

Automatic differentiation is achieved by using dual numbers without providing hand-coded gradient functions. The output value of a mathematical function is returned with the values of its exact first derivative (or gradient). For more details see Baydin, Pearlmutter, Radul, and Siskind (2018) <https://jmlr.org/papers/volume18/17-468/17-468.pdf>.
