Think about how derivatives are represented.
Name one application of finite differences.
Consider how we estimate values between known points.
What does a finite difference represent?
Think back to the definition of finite differences.
True or False: Finite differences are only used for interpolation.
Consider the multiple uses of finite differences.
Given the function values f(1)=3, f(2)=6, f(3)=11, calculate the first and second forward differences.
Use the finite difference formula for each step.
