In our workshop, we will create &#8211; almost from scratch &#8211; a spreadsheet to compare the forward, backward and central divided difference approximations for the first derivative of a simple function. We start with FDA_BDA_CDA Exercise.xls, which has some of the basic text, but no formulas, and go from there. The objective is to get a sense for what it takes to create such a spreadsheet. Later workshops will look at how to re-use these and to do this in a more sophisticated numerical computation tool.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0FDA_BDA_CDA Exercise.xls\u00a0 template is stored on Dropbox. <a title=\"Numerical Differentiation Exercise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/ttafmljofsyv4jd\/FDA_BDA_CDA%20Exercise.xls\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to download the file<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Workshop Instructions are <a title=\"Numerical Differentiation Exercise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/yjcw4zjjhdpb4b6\/Differentiation_Spreadsheet_Exercise_13-14s2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A spreadsheet is a reasonably easy way to perform various numerical methods, especially differentiation.
