Abstract
A general algorithm for finding finite-difference approximations to derivatives is presented. The algorithm uses a linear combination of suitable Taylor expansions, and is sufficiently general to cater for non-equispaced nodes. It also provides analytical expressions for truncation and round-off errors.
