@GabrielR. _?NumericQ is useful to prevent evaluation prior to an actual number being plugged in and I use it out of habit when defining functions using numerical procedures. Strictly speaking, it's not necessary here. If you were to try to plot $f'$, however, some errors would be issued. The With construct is simply a scoping mechanism to declare n as local. Module could have been used just as well.
