  Some of the code (extension of limit def)

Inspiration

I wanted to learn how to do numerical differentiation for higher-order derivatives, and I also wanted to build a Taylor Series simulation. Upon doing it on paper, I quickly found a pattern and decided to turn it into a program for this hackathon.

What it does

My program is a graphical simulation that computes and renders the nth derivative of any function. The other simulation uses Taylor Series to approximate any function.

How I built it

I built this program using the C programming language and the Raylib library.

Challenges we ran into

I started by using autodiff with dual numbers, but it was too difficult to extend it to higher-order derivatives, so I used traditional numerical methods instead.
