Usage

Compute first and second derivative of a scalar valued function.

```python from dualnum import derive2 import numpy as np

def f(x): return np.exp(x) / np.sqrt(np.sin(x)3 + np.cos(x)3)

x = derive2(1.5) result = f(x) print('f(x) = {}'.format(result.value)) print('df/dx = {}'.format(result.firstderivative)) print('d2f/dx2 = {}'.format(result.secondderivative)) ```
