Numerical Differentiation
Numerical differentiation are occasionally required in
practical work. For example, such methods are needed in
estimating derivatives for the data in which the underlying
mathematical law either does not exist or cannot readily be
determined.
Numerical analysis offers several approaches to
approximate the required derivatives.
