Finite Difference Differentiation (scipy.differentiate)#

SciPy differentiate provides functions for performing finite difference numerical differentiation of black-box functions.

derivative(f, x, *[, args, tolerances, ...])

Evaluate the derivative of an elementwise, real scalar function numerically.

jacobian(f, x, *[, tolerances, maxiter, ...])

Evaluate the Jacobian of a function numerically.

hessian(f, x, *[, tolerances, maxiter, ...])

Evaluate the Hessian of a function numerically.
