Question
**Address the following questions:**

(a) Write down the Taylor series for \( f(x+\Delta x) \) and \( f(x-\Delta x) \) about the point \( x \). Explicitly keep track of terms of order \(\Delta x^4\) and lower.

(b) Derive the central-difference \( \mathcal{O}(\Delta x^2) \) accurate scheme for the second derivative using the Taylor series for \( f(x \pm \Delta x) \) from above. Be sure to keep the truncation error.

(c) Construct the differentiation matrix \(\mathbf{D}\) which takes the first derivative of a vector \(\mathbf{f}\) of length \( n \), using the following central-difference scheme:

\[ 
f'(x) = \frac{f(x+\Delta x) - f(x-\Delta x)}{2\Delta x} + \mathcal{O}(\Delta x^2)
\]

Assume *periodic* boundary conditions, so that \( f(n+1) = f(1) \).
