Property Value

The accuracy order of a finite difference method is the smallest exponent of the step size in the error of the approximation. As a result, higher order methods allow for larger step sizes.

Equivalently, the accuracy order of the method is the smallest degree of a polynomial for which the computed derivative approximation is no longer exact in exact arithmetic. Because of round-off and truncation errors, the actual computation may not be exact.
