ABSTRACT = "Consider calculating the function $f''(u)vv$ for a given vector-valued f
and given u, v, by using the affine function $ w: R \rightarrow R^n $ with $w(t) = u + t*v$, and the
function $\psi: E \subseteq R \rightarrow R^n$ with $\psi(t) = f(w(t))$. Obviously
$\psi''(0)11 = f''(u)vv =$ the vector wanted. The paper exploits this fact
to produce a fast method for computing $f''(u)vv$. Operation counts are given for both the
usual method and the fast method."
