nDeriv( nDeriv( (numerical derivative, MATH MATH item 8) returns an approximate derivative of expression with respect to variable, given the value at which to calculate the derivative, and H (optional; if none is specified, 1E.3 is used). nDeriv(expression,variable,value) or nDeriv(expression,variable,value,H) nDeriv( uses the symmetric difference quotient method, which approximates the numerical derivative value as the slope of the secant line through the points: (value-H, expression(value-H)) and (value+H,expression(value+H)) As H gets smaller, the approximation usually gets more accurate. nDeriv( can be used once in expression. Because of the method, nDeriv( can return a false derivative value at a nondifferentiable point. fnInt( fnInt( (function integral, MATH MATH item 9) returns the numerical integral (Gauss-Kronrod method) of expression with respect to variable, given lower limit, upper limit, and a tolerance (optional; if none is specified, 1E.5 is used). fnInt(expression,variable,lower,upper) or fnInt(expression,variable,lower,upper,tolerance) fnInt( is not valid in expression.

nDeriv(
nDeriv(
(numerical derivative,
MATH MATH
item
8
) returns an approximate
derivative of
expression
with respect to
variable
, given the
value
at which
to calculate the derivative, and
H
(optional; if none is specified, 1
E
.
3 is
used).
nDeriv(
expression
,

or
nDeriv(
expression
,
variable
,

H
)
nDeriv(
uses the symmetric difference quotient method, which
approximates the numerical derivative value as the slope of the secant line
through the points:
(
value
H
,
expression
(
value
H
)) and
(
value
+
H
,
expression
(
value

))
As
H
gets smaller, the approximation usually gets more accurate.
nDeriv(
can be used once in
expression
. Because of the method,
nDeriv(
can return a false derivative value at a nondifferentiable point.
fnInt(
fnInt(
(function integral,
