Fast Chebyshev Differentiation

Computes the numerical derivative on the Chebyshev grid.

You are now following this Submission

This script numerically differentiates a function on the Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto grid in O(N*log(N)) time. Equivalent to computing D*x where D is the Chebyshev collocation matrix, but much faster for large vectors x.
