Abstract. In this paper we present a numerical method to compute derivatives of the rotation number for parametric families of circle diffeomorphisms with high accuracy. Our me\-tho\-do\-lo\-gy is an extension of a recently developed approach to compute rotation numbers based on suitable averages of the iterates of the map and Richardson extrapolation. We focus on analytic circle diffeomorphisms, but the method also works if the maps are differentiable enough. In order to justify the method, we also require the family of maps to be differentiable with respect to the parameters and the rotation number to be Diophantine. In particular, the method turns out to be very efficient for computing Taylor expansions of Arnold Tongues of families of circle maps. Finally, we adapt these ideas to study invariant curves for parametric families of planar twist maps.
