function

`scipy.interpolate._interpolate:BPoly.derivative`

source: build-install/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/scipy/interpolate/_interpolate.py:2108

Signature

def derivative(self, nu = 1)

Summary

Construct a new piecewise polynomial representing the derivative.

Parameters

nu : int, optional: Order of derivative to evaluate. Default is 1, i.e., compute the first derivative. If negative, the antiderivative is returned.

Returns

bp : BPoly: Piecewise polynomial of order k - nu representing the derivative of this polynomial.
