This is a Fortran program that estimates the derivative of a function based on its known value at discrete points. The technique that helps utilizes this program is called the central difference. This method required the first and second derivatives of a known function in order to capture the value at uniformly distributed points. An error assessment was also implemented to determine how the magnitude error in the first derivative at one arbitrary point varies as the initial values of the dependent variable changes. A technical paper written in L^aT_eX describes the purpose of this Fortran project as well as its results.
