Synopsis

This book presents the comprehensive work of 17th-century scientist and mathematician Isaac Newton on interpolation by methods of finite differences. These methods involve the use of the differences between values in a series to find intermediate terms, which has applications in constructing tables and solving problems related to areas and volumes. The book begins with an explanation of the fundamental formula of finite differences, which allows any value in a series to be expressed in terms of the initial value and its leading differences. The author provides detailed examples and applications of this formula and discusses its significance in the history of mathematics. Overall, this book offers a valuable resource for those interested in the development of finite difference methods and their applications in various fields.
