Use DiffRules.jl to get derivative definitions #6

Closed MasonProtter closed 6 years ago

MasonProtter commented 6 years ago

Right now, we define what the derivatives of various mathematical functions are by hand but that's a task that was already done by the JuliaDiff folks at DiffRules.jl so why reinvent the wheel? If someone wants to tackle the problem of getting our derivative definitions from DiffRules, it shouldn't be too hard and it'd be much appreciated.
