<p>as difference equations by replacing iteration notation with finite differences.</p>

<p>In <a href="page.php?w=numerical_analysis">numerical analysis</a>, finite differences are widely used for approximating derivatives, and the term "finite difference" is often used as an abbreviation of "finite difference approximation of derivatives".</p>

<p>Finite differences were introduced by <a href="page.php?w=Brook_Taylor">Brook Taylor</a> in 1715 and have also been studied as abstract self-standing mathematical objects in works by <a href="page.php?w=George_Boole">George Boole</a></p><p>
