+%% Assignment 2
+% Name: Claudio Maggioni

+% Date: 19/3/2019
+%
+% This is a template file for the first assignment to get started with running
+% and publishing code in Matlab.  Each problem has its own section (delineated
+% by |%%|) and can be run in isolation by clicking into the particular section
+% and pressing |Ctrl| + |Enter| (evaluate current section).
+%
+% To generate a pdf for submission in your current directory, use the following
+% three lines of code at the command window:
+%
+%  >> options.format = 'pdf'; options.outputDir = pwd; publish('assignment2.m', options)
+%

 Division and multiplication may suffer from cancellation.

+\section*{Exercise 3}
+\subsection*{Point d}
+The error at first keeps getting exponentially smaller due to a better approximation of $h$ when computing the derivative
+(i.e. $h$ is exponentially nearer to 0), but at $10^{-9}$ this trend almost becomes the opposite due to loss of significant
+digits when subtracting from $e^{x+h}$ $e^x$ and amplifiying this error by effectively multiplying that with exponentially
+increasing powers of 10.
