In mathematics, the Hessian matrix or Hessian is a square matrix of second-order partial derivatives of a scalar-valued function, or scalar field. It describes the local curvature of a function of many variables.
It is basically a (symmetric) matrix of second-order partial derivatives. For scalar-valued function of a scalar, f(x), it is simply the second derivative; for a vector-valued function of a vector, it is
or on component form, H_{i,j} = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x_i \partial x_j} (yes, until #46 is in place you have to render LaTeX in your head. Or read the wiki entry...).
Implementations for lower degrees than cubic are trivial - they should just return 0 everywhere.
