Numerical Derivative
While it is usually much easier to compute a Derivative instead of an Integral (which is a little strange,considering that ``more'' functions have integrals than derivatives), there are still many applications where derivatives needto be computed numerically. The simplest approach simply uses the definition of the Derivative
for some small numerical value of
