def diff(ctx, f, x, n=1, **options):
    r"""
    Numerically computes the derivative of `f`, `f'(x)`, or generally for
    an integer `n \ge 0`, the `n`-th derivative `f^{(n)}(x)`.
    A few basic examples are::

        >>> from mpmath import *
        >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
        >>> diff(lambda x: x**2 + x, 1.0)
        3.0
        >>> diff(lambda x: x**2 + x, 1.0, 2)
        2.0
        >>> diff(lambda x: x**2 + x, 1.0, 3)
        0.0
        >>> nprint([diff(exp, 3, n) for n in range(5)])   # exp'(x) = exp(x)
        [20.0855, 20.0855, 20.0855, 20.0855, 20.0855]

    Even more generally, given a tuple of arguments `(x_1, \ldots, x_k)`
    and order `(n_1, \ldots, n_k)`, the partial derivative
    `f^{(n_1,\ldots,n_k)}(x_1,\ldots,x_k)` is evaluated. For example::

        >>> diff(lambda x,y: 3*x*y + 2*y - x, (0.25, 0.5), (0,1))
        2.75
        >>> diff(lambda x,y: 3*x*y + 2*y - x, (0.25, 0.5), (1,1))
        3.0

    **Options**

    The following optional keyword arguments are recognized:

    ``method``
        Supported methods are ``'step'`` or ``'quad'``: derivatives may be
        computed using either a finite difference with a small step
        size `h` (default), or numerical quadrature.
    ``direction``
        Direction of finite difference: can be -1 for a left
        difference, 0 for a central difference (default), or +1
        for a right difference; more generally can be any complex number.
    ``addprec``
        Extra precision for `h` used to account for the function's
        sensitivity to perturbations (default = 10).
    ``relative``
        Choose `h` relative to the magnitude of `x`, rather than an
        absolute value; useful for large or tiny `x` (default = False).
    ``h``
        As an alternative to ``addprec`` and ``relative``, manually
        select the step size `h`.
    ``singular``
        If True, evaluation exactly at the point `x` is avoided; this is
        useful for differentiating functions with removable singularities.
        Default = False.
    ``radius``
        Radius of integration contour (with ``method = 'quad'``).
        Default = 0.25. A larger radius typically is faster and more
        accurate, but it must be chosen so that `f` has no
        singularities within the radius from the evaluation point.

    A finite difference requires `n+1` function evaluations and must be
    performed at `(n+1)` times the target precision. Accordingly, `f` must
    support fast evaluation at high precision.

    With integration, a larger number of function evaluations is
    required, but not much extra precision is required. For high order
    derivatives, this method may thus be faster if f is very expensive to
    evaluate at high precision.

    **Further examples**

    The direction option is useful for computing left- or right-sided
    derivatives of nonsmooth functions::

        >>> diff(abs, 0, direction=0)
        0.0
        >>> diff(abs, 0, direction=1)
        1.0
        >>> diff(abs, 0, direction=-1)
        -1.0

    More generally, if the direction is nonzero, a right difference
    is computed where the step size is multiplied by sign(direction).
    For example, with direction=+j, the derivative from the positive
    imaginary direction will be computed::

        >>> diff(abs, 0, direction=j)
        (0.0 - 1.0j)

    With integration, the result may have a small imaginary part
    even even if the result is purely real::

        >>> diff(sqrt, 1, method='quad')    # doctest:+ELLIPSIS
        (0.5 - 4.59...e-26j)
        >>> chop(_)
        0.5

    Adding precision to obtain an accurate value::

        >>> diff(cos, 1e-30)
        0.0
        >>> diff(cos, 1e-30, h=0.0001)
        -9.99999998328279e-31
        >>> diff(cos, 1e-30, addprec=100)
        -1.0e-30

    Returns a generator that yields the sequence of derivatives

    .. math ::

        f(x), f'(x), f''(x), \ldots, f^{(k)}(x), \ldots

    With ``method='step'``, :func:`~mpmath.diffs` uses only `O(k)`
    function evaluations to generate the first `k` derivatives,
    rather than the roughly `O(k^2)` evaluations
    required if one calls :func:`~mpmath.diff` `k` separate times.

    With `n < \infty`, the generator stops as soon as the
    `n`-th derivative has been generated. If the exact number of
    needed derivatives is known in advance, this is further
    slightly more efficient.

    Options are the same as for :func:`~mpmath.diff`.

def differint(ctx, f, x, n=1, x0=0):

    Calculates the Riemann-Liouville differintegral, or fractional
    derivative, defined by

    .. math ::

        \,_{x_0}{\mathbb{D}}^n_xf(x) = \frac{1}{\Gamma(m-n)} \frac{d^m}{dx^m}
        \int_{x_0}^{x}(x-t)^{m-n-1}f(t)dt

    where `f` is a given (presumably well-behaved) function,
    `x` is the evaluation point, `n` is the order, and `x_0` is
    the reference point of integration (`m` is an arbitrary
    parameter selected automatically).

    With `n = 1`, this is just the standard derivative `f'(x)`; with `n = 2`,
    the second derivative `f''(x)`, etc. With `n = -1`, it gives
    `\int_{x_0}^x f(t) dt`, with `n = -2`
    it gives `\int_{x_0}^x \left( \int_{x_0}^t f(u) du \right) dt`, etc.

    As `n` is permitted to be any number, this operator generalizes
    iterated differentiation and iterated integration to a single
    operator with a continuous order parameter.

    **Examples**

    There is an exact formula for the fractional derivative of a
    monomial `x^p`, which may be used as a reference. For example,
    the following gives a half-derivative (order 0.5)::

        >>> from mpmath import *
        >>> mp.dps = 15; mp.pretty = True
        >>> x = mpf(3); p = 2; n = 0.5
        >>> differint(lambda t: t**p, x, n)
        7.81764019044672
        >>> gamma(p+1)/gamma(p-n+1) * x**(p-n)
        7.81764019044672

    Another useful test function is the exponential function, whose
    integration / differentiation formula easy generalizes
    to arbitrary order. Here we first compute a third derivative,
    and then a triply nested integral. (The reference point `x_0`
    is set to `-\infty` to avoid nonzero endpoint terms.)::

        >>> differint(lambda x: exp(pi*x), -1.5, 3)
        0.278538406900792
        >>> exp(pi*-1.5) * pi**3
        0.278538406900792
        >>> differint(lambda x: exp(pi*x), 3.5, -3, -inf)
        1922.50563031149
        >>> exp(pi*3.5) / pi**3
        1922.50563031149

    However, for noninteger `n`, the differentiation formula for the
    exponential function must be modified to give the same result as the
    Riemann-Liouville differintegral::

        >>> x = mpf(3.5)
        >>> c = pi
        >>> n = 1+2*j
        >>> differint(lambda x: exp(c*x), x, n)
