This project is a visualizer for higher order derivative approximations.
We will be using Python to create a backend which can calculate and send the approximation and the true derivative of a given function to the frontend, where we visualize our results.
Note: we use Heroku free tier as a backend host, so making requests on the hosted site may take a moment.
With low derivative order, the accurracy is quite high and produces great results:
However with increased order, we can see more and more inaccuracies:
To install the dependencies you need to run
pip install -r requirements.txt
npm i
The use the following commands on individual command line instances to run the client and server
npm run client
npm run server
Finally go to localhost:3000 to try it out
