Everything about Divided differences
Algorithm for computing polynomial coefficients
In mathematics, divided differences is an algorithm, historically used for computing tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions. Charles Babbage's difference engine, an early mechanical calculator, was designed to use this algorithm in its operation. Wikipedia →
