    The author discusses an approach for the automatic exact computation of derivatives of functions. While not all details are really clear, it seems that the method is essentially just a disguised form of classical automatic differentiation techniques methods (see the analysis of the underlying number model by \textit{A. E. Gutman} and \textit{S. S. Kutateladze} [Sib. Mat. Zh. 49, No. 5, 1054--1076 (2008); translation in Sib. Math. J. 49, No. 5, 835--841 (2008; Zbl 1224.03045)], or the comments on this number system given in the review of \textit{Ya. D. Sergeyev}'s book [Arithmetic of infinity. Cosenza: Edizioni Orizzonti Meridionali (2003; Zbl 1076.03048)].
