This repository provides examples for automatic differentiation using TinyAD. For an overview, visit the main TinyAD repository.

While this repository includes many dependencies as submodules, TinyAD itself is a lightweight, header-only library requiring only Eigen. It has been tested on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

Linux

These examples have been tested on Linux and require:

• A C++17 compiler
• CMake >= 3.9 (e.g. sudo apt-get install cmake)
• GLFW build dependencies (e.g. sudo apt-get build-dep glfw3)
• OpenGL >= 4.5 (e.g. sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev mesa-utils)

Build the examples via:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/patr-schm/TinyAD-Examples.git
cd TinyAD-Examples
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Windows

The branch windows compiled successfully with MSVC in 2025.
