A Treatise On The Calculus Of Finite Differences (1860)

A Treatise On The Calculus Of Finite Differences is a mathematical book written by George Boole and first published in 1860. The book is a comprehensive guide to the calculus of finite differences, a mathematical technique used to study discrete functions. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an introduction to the calculus of finite differences and includes discussions on the difference operator, the forward and backward difference operators, and the calculus of finite differences for simple functions. The second part of the book focuses on the applications of the calculus of finite differences to various mathematical problems. This section covers topics such as interpolation, approximation, summation, and the solution of differential equations. The third and final part of the book is devoted to the theory of finite differences. This section includes discussions on the formation of finite difference equations, the solution of linear difference equations, and the properties of finite difference operators. Overall, A Treatise On The Calculus Of Finite Differences is a seminal work in the field of mathematics and is still used today as a reference for those studying the calculus of finite differences. George Boole's clear and concise writing style makes this book accessible to both students and professionals in the field of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
