NUMERICAL DIFFERENTIATION AND INTEGRATION Prof. Samuel Prof. Samuel Okolie Adekunle Adekunle & Dr. Okolie, Prof. & Dr. Seun Seun Ebiesuwa , Prof. Yinka Ebiesuwa Yinka
Calculus is the mathematics of change. Because scientists and engineers must continuously deal with systems and process that change, calculus is an essential tool. Standing at the heart of calculus are the related mathematical concepts of differentiation and integration. Mathematically the derivative, which serves as the fundamental vehicle for differentiation, represents the rate of change of a dependent variable with respect to an independent variable. The mathematical definition of derivation begins with a difference approximation: ? ?= f (x + x) f(x ) x (divided difference)
Where y and f(x) are alternative representation for the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable. If x is allowed to approach o, the difference becomes a derivative. ?? ?? = lim f (x + x) f(x) = f/ (x) = y/ x 0 x y f(x + x) f(x) tangent y f(x ) x x x + x x
As x decreases i.e 0, the difference becomes a derivative (1st derivative). The inverse process of differentiation in calculus is integration. Mathematically integration is represented by ? 1 = ?(?) ? dx is a sylised capital S which stands for the integral ( summation ) of the function f(x) with respect to x, evaluated between the limits x = a to x = b. The function f(x) is called the integrand
f(x) a b x graphical representation of the integral of f(x) between the limits x = a and x = b. The integral is equivalent to the area under the case of definite integration. When the limits of a and b are not specified it is indefinite integration. Integration and differentiation are inversely related thus, we can make the general claim that the evaluation of the integral ? 1 = ?(?) ? dx is equivalent to solving the differential equation ?? ?? = f(x) for y(b) given the initial condition y(a) = 0
Non computer Methods for Differentiation and Integration The functions to be differentiated or integrated will typically be in one of the following three forms: (1)A simple continuous function such as a polynomial, an exponential, a trigonometrically or logarithmic function. (2)A complicated continuous function that is different or impossible to differentiate or integrate directly. (3)A tabulated function where values of x and f(x) are given at discrete points as in the case of experimental or fields data.
In the first case the derivative or integral of a simple function may be evaluated analytically using calculus. For the second case, analytical solution are often impractical and sometimes impossible, to obtain. In this case approximate numerical methods must be employed. For the third case of discrete data, approximate method must be employed. A non-computer method, the (x, y) data are tabulated and, for each interval, a simple divided difference ?/ ? is employed to estate the slope. Then these values are plotted as a stepped curve Vs x.
Next, a smooth curve is draw that attempts to approximate the area under the stepped curve. That is, it is drawn so that visually the negative and the positive areas are balanced. The rates at given values of x can then be read from the curve.

In a similar manner, numerical integration methods are available to obtain integrals. These methods are easier to implement than the grid method and are similar in spirit to the strip method. That is, function heights are multiplied by strip widths and summed to estimate the integral. As in the simple strip method, numerical integration and differentiation techniques utilize data at discrete points because tabulated information is already in such a form, it is naturally compatible with many of the numerical approaches. Although, continuous functions are not originally in discrete form, it is usually a simple proportion to use the given equation to generate a table of values. This table can then be evaluated with a numerical method.
