[Andrew J. Pounds]

In Section 3.3 problem 18b asks you to use the derivative of the 
interpolating polynomial.  While you could technically derive the 
divided-difference polynomial using the F values and then take a 
derivative of that polynomial to come up with an equation for the 
instantaneous speed, I am perfectly fine with you using a central or 
forward difference method from chapter 4 to approximate the speed at the 
given point.
