The theme of this paper is that particle methods are closely related to both finite difference and spectral methods because the three methods can be considered special cases of interpolation by kernel estimation. The kernels for a number of special cases are given in detail, and the accuracy of the resulting interpolation is analyzed. A general procedure for deriving equations for numerical work from the equations of hydrodynamics is described. It is applied to the derivation of the SPH equations which conserve linear and angular momentum exactly.
