 Since computing the Jacobian matrix $\mathbf R'(\mathbf W^k)$ is a
 terrible beast, we use an automatic differentiation package, Sacado,
 to do this.  Sacado is a package within the <a

 and offers a C++ template class <code>Sacado::Fad::DFad</code>
-(<code>Fad</code> standing for "floating point automatic
+(<code>Fad</code> standing for "forward automatic
 differentiation") that supports basic arithmetic operators and
 functions such as <code> sqrt, sin, cos, pow, </code> etc. In order to
 use this feature, one declares a collection of variables of this type
