Obtaining the derivatives of f
(requires Matlab's Symbolic Math Toolbox)
anal_deriv.m
num_eval.m

Writing the Output of anal_deriv.m to an M-file: This program saves significant amount of computational time in applications in which the output of anal_deriv.m has to be evaluated repeatedly.
first_order_print2f.m The following script achieves the same outcome by a different approach: anal_deriv_print2f.m by Andrea Pescatori
