"""This module provides automatic differentiation for functions with
any number of variables. Instances of the class DerivVar represent the
values of a function and its partial derivatives with respect to a
list of variables. All common mathematical operations and functions
are available for these numbers.  There is no restriction on the type
of the numbers fed into the code; it works for real and complex
numbers as well as for any Python type that implements the necessary
operations.

This module is as far as possible compatible with the n-th order
derivatives module 'Derivatives'. If only first-order derivatives
are required, this module is faster than the general one.

Example:

  print sin(DerivVar(2))

produces the output

  (0.909297426826, [-0.416146836547])

The first number is the value of sin(2); the number in the following
list is the value of the derivative of sin(x) at x=2, i.e. cos(2).

When there is more than one variable, DerivVar must be called with
an integer second argument that specifies the number of the variable.

Example:

  x = DerivVar(7., 0)
  y = DerivVar(42., 1)
  z = DerivVar(pi, 2)
  print (sqrt(pow(x,2)+pow(y,2)+pow(z,2)))

produces the output

  (42.6950770511, [0.163953328662, 0.98371997197, 0.0735820818365])

The numbers in the list are the partial derivatives with respect
to x, y, and z, respectively.

Note: It doesn't make sense to use DerivVar with different values
for the same variable index in one calculation, but there is
no check for this. I.e.

  print DerivVar(3,0)+DerivVar(5,0)

produces

(8, [2])

but this result is meaningless.
