## Installation

```
pip install hyperjet
```

## Quickstart

Import the module:

```python
import hyperjet as hj
```

Create a set of variables e.g. `x=3` and `y=6`:

```python
x, y = hj.variables([3, 6])
```

`x` and `y` are hyper-dual numbers. This is indicated by the postfix `hj`:

```python
x
>>> 3hj
```

Get the value as a simple `float`:

```python
x.f
>>> 3
```

The hyper-dual number stores the derivatives as a numpy array.

Get the first order derivatives (Gradient) of a hyper-dual number:

```python
x.g  # = [dx/dx, dx/dy]
>>> array([1., 0.])
```

Get the second order derivatives (Hessian matrix):

```python
x.hm()  # = [[d^2 x/ dx**2 , d^2 x/(dx*dy)],
        #    [d^2 x/(dx*dy), d^2 x/ dy**2 ]]
>>> array([[0., 0.],
           [0., 0.]])
```

For a simple variable these derivatives are trivial.

Now do some computations:

```python
f = (x * y) / (x - y)
f
>>> -6hj
```

The result is again a hyper-dual number.

Get the first order derivatives of `f` with respect to `x` and `y`:

```python
f.g  # = [df/dx, df/dy]
>>> array([-4.,  1.])
```

Get the second order derivatives of `f`:

```python
f.hm()  # = [[d^2 f/ dx**2 , d^2 f/(dx*dy)],
        #    [d^2 f/(dx*dy), d^2 f/ dy**2 ]]
>>> array([[-2.66666667,  1.33333333],
           [ 1.33333333, -0.66666667]])
```

You can use numpy to perform vector and matrix operations.

Compute the nomalized cross product of two vectors `u = [1, 2, 2]` and `v = [4, 1, -1]` with hyper-dual numbers:

```python
import numpy as np

variables = hj.DDScalar.variables([1, 2,  2,
                                   4, 1, -1])

u = np.array(variables[:3])  # = [1hj, 2hj,  2hj]
v = np.array(variables[3:])  # = [4hj, 1hj, -1hj]

normal = np.cross(u, v)
normal /= np.linalg.norm(normal)
normal
>>> array([-0.331042hj, 0.744845hj, -0.579324hj], dtype=object)
```

The result is a three-dimensional numpy array containing hyper-dual numbers.

Get the value and derivatives of the x-component:

```python
normal[0].f
>>> -0.3310423554409472

normal[0].g
>>> array([ 0.00453483, -0.01020336,  0.00793595,  0.07255723, -0.16325376, 0.12697515])

normal[0].hm()
>>> array([[ 0.00434846, -0.01091775,  0.00647611, -0.0029818 , -0.01143025, -0.02335746],
           [-0.01091775,  0.02711578, -0.01655522,  0.00444165,  0.03081974,  0.04858632],
           [ 0.00647611, -0.01655522,  0.0093492 , -0.00295074, -0.02510461, -0.03690759],
           [-0.0029818 ,  0.00444165, -0.00295074, -0.02956956,  0.03025289, -0.01546811],
           [-0.01143025,  0.03081974, -0.02510461,  0.03025289,  0.01355789, -0.02868433],
           [-0.02335746,  0.04858632, -0.03690759, -0.01546811, -0.02868433,  0.03641839]])
