Yes, that's more or less it. The system you implement still knows about linearity of differentiation, the product rule, chain rule etc but it's not a full blown CAS. It can't give you the symbolic derivative of a function (although I guess you can technically apply AD to any numeric type, including a symbolic type..) but it can compute the numerical value of the derivatives at arbitrary points. |
