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:
