While researching generic numeric programming, I recently added two
examples to my catalog that I find quite intuitive while remaining non-trivial,
and while still retaining example-like fashion. These are a generic
function derivative using a 3-point central difference rule
and a generic recursive trapezoid numerical integration.
I will work out the codes on the weekend and jot down
descriptive notes.

Looks like the Easter Bunny is hiding algorithms now!
