valvector: An Example Machine Learning Base Class
#################################################
This CppAD Base class preforms numerical operations on vectors; e.g.,
only one CppAD operation represents the element-by-element addition
of two vectors. This is similar to the Pytorch Tensors or Jax Numpy Arrays.

scalar_type
***********
The type ``valvector::scalar_type``
is the type corresponding to each element of a valvector .
We use *scalar_type* to denote this type.

Getting Started
===============
The file :ref:`valvector_get_started.cpp-name` is an example
that computes derivatives using valvector as the base class.

Other Examples
==============
The file :ref:`valvector.cpp-name` tests that all of the valvector examples
git the expected results.
