Comp Methods: Forward, Backward, and Central Divided Difference Approximations

Hi, this video goes over the first-derivative approximation techniques and how they may be derived from Taylor Series approximations. The errors associated with each are described. For EML3041 students at USF, this corresponds with NS#5 and NS#6. 00:00 - 02:21 Forward (Graphically) 02:21 - 06:06 Forward (Taylor Series) 06:06 - 07:38 Backwards (Graphically) 07:38 - 11:19 Backwards (Taylor Series) 11:19 - 13:37 Central (Graphically) 13:37 - 18:59 Central (Taylor Series)
