First and Second Order Central Difference
www.mathworks.com › matlabcentral › answersDec 03, 2019 · For starters, the formula given for the first derivative is the FORWARD difference formula, not a CENTRAL difference. (here, dt = h) Second: you cannot calculate the central difference for element i, or element n, since central difference formula references element both i+1 and i-1, so your range of i needs to be from i=2:n-1.
Central Difference Approximation of the First Derivative
