Alright, future engineers!
**Numerical Differentiation:** Approximates a function's derivative using discrete points.
Formula (Central Difference): `f'(x) approx (f(x+h) - f(x-h)) / (2h)`
Pro-Tip: Central difference generally offers better accuracy than forward/backward for the same step size 'h'.

Just realized available is just avail+able. I love etymology!

It's kinda funny how some words fall out of use and become "fancy" or "haute" while still retaining a derivative in common vernacular.
