Forward Difference
The forward difference is a Finite Difference defined by
 | (1) |
 |  |  | |
|  | (2) |
In general,
 | (3) |
is a Binomial Coefficient.Newton's Forward Difference Formula expresses 
as the sum of the 
th forward differences
 | (4) |
is the first th difference computed from the difference table.See also Backward Difference, Central Difference, Difference Equation, Divided Difference,Reciprocal Difference
