It is often necessary to find the derivative point by point from a tabular data which are not equally spaced. There is no convenient way to solve the problem in my knowledge.So, please help.

Well, if it's discontinuous then "derivative" is a very approximate term anyway.

Best estimate would be the change in one column divided by the change in another column, from one row to the next.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
