Abstract:In this paper we discuss the development of computational application program in MATLAB to calculate the second derivative of a function by using finite difference method for various types (forward, backward, or central) and any order of accuracy. The MATLAB program extends the similar one which has been developed for the first derivative. The program is designed as an implementation of the explicit formulas of finite difference formulated by Khan and Ohba. Through this program, one can easily calculate the se… Show more
