Discrete Derivatives – Jeff Shaul

Unfortunately, this does mean losing some information at the ends of a finite discrete series. This isn’t suitable for some situations. For discrete series taking place in real-time, it’s better to take a “backward difference”.

The derivative f' f ′ of a continuous function f f is defined by an infinitesimal difference quotient. They’re nice and easy to work with because they can be zoomed into forever without losing detail.
