Question: How to approximate a convoluted but very smooth function?

I want to approximate a positive function that is decreasing in Gamma, say f(Gamma), that is very complicated yet very smooth. I need this in order to obtain a tractable and compact version of its derivative, which enters in the partial derivative of another (very simple) function.

Along the way, three related questions emerge: Derivatives_and_Approximations.mw

Thanks a lot!
