Look at Scientific Python (see http://starship.python.net/crew/hinsen/scientific.html ) for some differentiation routines.

Hi,

attached is a file called Derivative.py.

It computes derivatives and is based on an algorithm found in Numerical Recipes in C.

What to do you think about it and has anyone started a "serious" calculus oriented subpackage for Numerical Python in general?
