I've been playing around with Dan Piponi's work on automatic differentiation... I played with such things, as seen on the old wiki: http://haskell.org/hawiki/ShortExamples_2fSymbolDifferentiation
I missed this while I was away on vacation so apologies for responding to something two weeks old. I just want to point out that the method I've been promoting is very distinct from symbolic differentiation. I wouldn't make a big deal about this except that besides playing well with Haskell, AD can help with many real world numerical problems, but people often dismiss it because it they confuse it with symbolic differentiation which they have already determined doesn't solve their problems. -- Dan
