This paper is written by three Europeans who clearly understand these mathematical ideas.

Is this type of analysis a part of a particular mathematical heritage ?

What would it be called ?

Is this article relevant ? https://medium.com/@lobosi/calculus-for-machine-learning-jac...

I quickly realized it was approximately 20,000 ft over my head, but I still power through these sort of things to see if anything "sticks".

So far, nothing but I'll keep trying ..

Picking my way through this slowly... I'm familiar with autodiff but some of these ideas are very new to me. This seems really, really exciting though.
