# scipy.misc.central_diff_weights

`scipy.misc.``central_diff_weights`(Np, ndiv=1)

  Return weights for an Np-point central derivative of order ndiv assuming equally-spaced function points.

  If weights are in the vector w, then derivative is w[0] * f(x-ho*dx) + ... + w[-1] * f(x+h0*dx)

  Notes

  Can be inaccurate for large number of points.
