Calculus Of Finite Differences Definition

Calculus Of Finite Differences Sentence Examples

• To Lagrange, perhaps more than to any other, the theory of differential equations is indebted for its position as a science, rather than a collection of ingenious artifices for the solution of particular problems. To the calculus of finite differences he contributed the beautiful formula of interpolation which bears his name; although substantially the same result seems to have been previously obtained by Euler.

• The general method of constructing formulae of this kind involves the use of the integral calculus and of the calculus of finite differences.

• Formulae of the calculus of finite differences enable us from the chronograph records to infer the velocity and retardation of the shot, and thence the resistance of the air.
