2. Extension to Higher Order Formulæ

a. Forward difference interpolating polynomial



We’ll take this opportunity to examine an alternative interpolating polynomial—the Forward Difference Polynomial.
Imagine we have a table of data pairs (xi,fi) which are uniformly spaced, with spacing h. The forward differences are just the familiar deltas.

first order:

second order:

Notice that the differences and are regarded as being evaluated at x = x1. Hence the term forward difference.
