In summary, the conversation is about a math problem involving finite-difference methods and discretized derivatives. The original poster is struggling with a question and asks for help, while another user suggests looking at the textbook for information on defining discretized derivatives. Another user also provides a link to a relevant section in their own textbook. The discussion also touches on the magnitude of errors and an Excel question.

This seems like a "textbook-style" problem, and should probably therefore be in the homework section, even if it is not proper homework (at least this is what the moderators have said before).

Do you have a description of finite-difference methods in your textbook? It should explain how to define the discretized derivatives.
