With Mathematica version 6, you may now use the form
Table[expr, {i, {i1, i2,...,ik}}]
in order to specify a particular list of values for the iterator i
instead of a regularly incremented list.
For example:
f[x_] := x^(-3) Cos[2 x]
f1[x_] = f'[x]; f2[x_] = f''[x];
info=Table[N@{x, f[x], f1[x], f2[x]}, {x, {-3, 1, 1/2, Pi, -5}}];
headers = TraditionalForm /@
{HoldForm[x],HoldForm[f[x]],HoldForm[f'[x]],HoldForm[f''[x]]};
TableForm[info,TableHeadings->{None,headers}]

I would like to be able to input x-values and have the table display f(x), f'(x), and possibly f''(x) for a given function. I have already specified the function, and I have found the following input creates tables:
