Leigh;

Do you have examples: x y pairs where you can test y = foo D.n x? I suspect that Roger et al have covered many of the usual suspects: polynomials, trig functions, even gamma... the J help page for D. seems to confirm this.

Dear Raul and J Forum:

I was aware of the D. operator, and admire the solution.  My only question
is how accurately D. performs numerical differentiation.  Can I rely on it,
or should I seek numerical methods for deriving the gamma functions?
Thanks. Sincerely, Leigh
