# Finite Difference Differentiation (`scipy.differentiate`)

SciPy `differentiate` provides functions for performing finite difference numerical differentiation of black-box functions.

`derivative`(f, x, *[, args, kwargs, ...]) | Evaluate the derivative of an elementwise, real scalar function numerically.
`jacobian`(f, x, *[, tolerances, maxiter, ...]) | Evaluate the Jacobian of a function numerically.
`hessian`(f, x, *[, tolerances, maxiter, ...]) | Evaluate the Hessian of a function numerically.
