HP 42S: Numerical Derivative
The program DERVX is based off my numerical derivative
program for the HP 15C. To see the HP
15C program, click here: http://edspi31415.blogspot.com/2011/11/numerical-derivatives-in-part-9-we-will.html
DERVX calculates numerical derivatives of f(x),
given a small increment h. Generally,
the smaller h is,
the better the calculation. However with certain methods, if h is
too small, the final result may be unexpected.
This program uses a five-point formula:
f'(x) ≈ (f(x - 2h) - 8 * f(x - h) + 8 * f(x + h) - f(x + 2h)) / (12h)
The error is of the order of h^4.

Label DERVX: Main routine
Label 00: f(X). This function starts with X on the X register.
Numerical memory registers will be used, and they are the following:

How to run DERVX:
1. If desired, edit
the function by [shift] [XEQ] (GTO) 00, [shift] [R/S] (PRGM). Remember you start with x in the X
stack. End f(x) with RTN.
2. Input x, press
[ENTER].
3. Input h, press
[XEQ] {DERVX}.
Test 1: f(x) = x^2 +
x*sin x, where x = π/4, h = 1E-5
The code for f(x) would look like this:

Test 2: f(x) = x*e^x,
where x = 1.75, h = 1E-5
The code for f(x) would look like this:
39 LBL 00
40 ENTER
41 E^X

HP 42S: Recurring Sequence Matrix
The program RECUR builds a table for the sequence f(n,
u(n-1)). The table is stored in the
matrix MAT. At the completion of the
program, you will be to see the elements of MAT in matrix edit mode.
LBL 00 holds the sequence function.
R00 = u(n-1)
Specify as many entries as you like, up to 999.
To use the counter in the sequence function, use RCL 02, IP.
Other registers that are used are:
R01 = n
R02 = counter, in the form of 2.nnn

The program FRACT provides three calculations involving
fractions:
ADD: add two
fractions
W/X + Y/Z = (W*Z + X*Y)/(X*Z)
MULT: multiply two fractions
W/X * Y/Z = (W*Y)/(X*Z)
POWER: take a fraction to a power
(W/X)^Y = W^Y/X^Y
The end of the program stores the resulting numerator in N
and the resulting denominator in D.
FRACT simplifies the fraction after calculation. Note:
FRACT sets the HP 42S to FIX 0 mode. Mixed fractions are not included.

Result: “356./323.” Y: 356, X: 323
Test 2: Multiplication (MULT)
12/19 * 8/17 = 96/323
W = 12, X = 19, Y = 8, Z = 17
Result:
“96./323.” Y: 96, X: 323
Test: Power (POWER)

That is Part III, I am happy I was able to post this a lot sooner than I thought.
