Numerical differentiation and integration is a technique to use when we do not know the function a priori , when we treat the function as a black box, or when analytical (or symbolic or closed-form) differentiation and integration of the function is not possible. The technique approximates a function by many linear functions, each on a tiny interval of the function domain. In fact, piecewise linear approximation of a function is the very foundation of calculus. When the intervals are small enough or when we zoom in the function enough, the function looks like a straight line in each of them (this is differentiation). When we put these “lines” together and sum up the block areas (typically rectangles or trapezoids) underneath, we have integration. This concept is taken to the limit when we make the interval length go infinitesimally small. On a computer, however, we cannot make the length be arbitrarily small. We are satisfied with a good enough approximation or small enough intervals, which is the reason we use numerical differentiation and integration.

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 ...
example, a more accurate approximation for the first derivative that is based on the values of the function at the points f(x−h) and f(x+h) is the centered differencing formula f0(x) ≈ f(x+h)−f(x−h) 2h. (5.4) Let's verify that this is indeed a more accurate formula than (5.1). Taylor expansions of the terms on the right-hand-side of ...

8.2 Numerical Differentiation Numerical differentiation is the process of computing the value of the derivative of an explicitly unknown function, with given discrete set of points. To differentiate a function numerically, we first determine an interpolating polynomial and then compute the approximate derivative at the given point.

The differentiation of a function has many engineering applications, from finding slopes (rate of change) to solving optimization problems to differential equations that model electric circuits and mechanical systems. Given a function 𝑓( ), we denote its first derivative with respect to its independent variable by the symbol
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.

It is not hard to formulate simple applications of numerical integration and differentiation given how often the tools of calculus appear in the basic formulae and techniques of physics, statistics, and other fields. Here we suggest a few less obvious places where integration and differentiation appear. Example 12.1 (Sampling from a distribution).
Numerical Di erentiation: The Big Picture. The goal of numerical di erentiation is to compute an accurate approximation to the derivative(s) of a function. Given measurements ffign of the underlying function f(x) at the. i=0. node values fxign i=0, our task is to estimate f0(x) (and, later, higher derivatives) in the same nodes.
