            contain the values found at each (row, col) location in the subjac.
        method : str
            The type of approximation that should be used. Valid options include:
            'fd': Finite Difference, 'cs': Complex Step, 'exact': use the component
            defined analytic derivatives. Default is 'exact'.
        step : float
            Step size for approximation. Defaults to None, in which case the approximation
            method provides its default value.
        form : string
            Form for finite difference, can be 'forward', 'backward', or 'central'. Defaults
            to None, in which case the approximation method provides its default value.
        step_calc : string
