{"product_id":"9781461265436","title":"Automatic Differentiation of Algorithms: From Simulation to Optimization","description":"Automatic Differentiation (AD) is a maturing computational technology and has become a mainstream tool used by practicing scientists and computer engineers. The rapid advance of hardware computing power and AD tools\u003cp\u003ehas enabled practitioners to quickly generate derivative-enhanced versions of their code for a broad range of applications in applied research and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Automatic Differentiation of Algorithms\" provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of all recent developments, new techniques, and tools for AD use. The book covers all aspects of the subject: mathematics, scientific programming ( i.e., use of adjoints in optimization) and implementation (i.e., memory management problems). A strong theme of the book is the relationships between AD tools and other software tools, such as compilers and parallelizers. A rich variety of significant applications are presented as well, including optimum-shape design problems, for which AD offers more efficient tools and techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Topics and features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e * helpful introductory AD survey chapter for brief overview of the field\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e *extensive applications chapters, i.e., for circuit simulation, optimization and optimal-control shape design, structural mechanics, and multibody dynamical systems modeling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e *comprehensive bibliography for all current literature and results for the field\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e *performance issues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e *optimal control sensitivity analysis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e *AD use with object oriented software tool kits\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book is an ideal and accessible survey of recent developments and applications of AD tools and techniques for a broad scientific computing and computer engineering readership. Practitioners, professionals, and advanced graduates working in AD development will find the book a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e useful reference and essential resource for their work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049123987696,"sku":"9781461265436","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461265436_p0.jpg?v=1763673059","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461265436","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
