function c = fd_coefficients(z,x,m)
% Calculates FD weights. The parameters are:
%  z   location where approximations are to be accurate,
%  x   vector with x-coordinates for grid points,
%  m   highest derivative that we want to find weights for
%  c   array size m+1,lentgh(x) containing (as output) in 
%      successive rows the weights for derivatives 0,1,...,m.

n=length(x); c=zeros(m+1,n); c1=1; c4=x(1)-z; c(1,1)=1;
for i=2:n

   for j=1:i-1
      c3=x(i)-x(j);  c2=c2*c3;
