Functional differentiation
From HaskellWiki
1 Introduction
Functional differentiation means computing or approximating the deriviative of a function. There are several ways to do this:
- Approximate the derivative f'(x) by
where h is close to zero. (or at best the square root of the machine precision 
.
- Compute the derivative of f symbolically. This approach is particularly interesting for Haskell.

There have been several blog posts on this recently. I think we should gather the information together and make a nice wiki article on it here. For now, here are links to articles on the topic.
