from math import sin, cos


# Here are a function and its derivative. We also choose a "center" about which we carry out our experiments:

# In[2]:


f = sin
df = cos

x = 2.3


# We then compare the accuracy of:
# 
# * First-order (right) differences
# * First-order (right) differences with half the step size
# * An estimate based on these two using Richardson extrapolation
# 
# against `true`, the actual derivative
