Numerical Differentiation Differentiation is a basic mathematical operation with a wide range of applica-tions in many areas of science. It is therefore important to have good meth-ods to compute and manipulate derivatives. You probably learnt the basic rules of differentiation in school — symbolic methods suitable for pencil-and-paper ...

Let us first make it clear what numerical differentiation is. Problem 11.1 (Numerical differentiation). Let f be a given function that is only known at a number of isolated points. The problem of numerical differ-entiation is to compute an approximation to the derivative f 0 of f by suitable combinations of the known values of f.

Numerical Differentiation A numerical approach to the derivative of a function !=#(%)is: Note! We will use MATLAB in order to find the numericsolution –not the analytic solution The derivative of a function !=#(%) is a measure of how !changes with %.
Chapter 9: Numerical Differentiation Numerical Differentiation Formulation of equations for physical problems often involve derivatives (rate-of-change quantities, such as v elocity and acceleration). Numerical solution of such problems involves numerical evaluation of the derivatives. One method for numerically evaluating derivatives is to use ...
5 Numerical Differentiation 5.1 Basic Concepts This chapter deals with numerical approximations of derivatives. The first questions that comes up to mind is: why do we need to approximate derivatives at all? After all, we do know how to analytically differentiate every function. Nevertheless, there are
Numerical Differentiation The simplest way to compute a function’s derivatives numerically is to use finite differ-ence approximations. Suppose we are interested in computing the first and second deriva-tives of a smooth function f: R! R. The definition of a derivative, f0(x) = lim h!0 f(x+h)¡f(x) h; suggests a natural approximation.
