Abstract: The accurate and stable numerical calculation of higher-order derivatives of holomorphic functions (as needed, e.g. in random matrix theory to extract higher-order gap probabilities from a generating function) turns out to be a surprisingly rich topic: there are connections to asymptotic analysis, the theory of entire functions, and to a problem in algorithmic graph theory.
