Publisher's Synopsis
""Elements of Finite Differences"" is a comprehensive guide to the mathematical technique of finite differences, written by Joseph Burn and originally published in 1902. The book covers the theory and applications of finite differences, including their use in solving differential equations, interpolating functions, and approximating integrals. The text is aimed primarily at students studying for the examinations of the Institute of Actuaries, and includes a set of practice questions with solutions. Despite its age, the book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of mathematical methods.Contains Part 1, Finite Differences; Part 2, Questions; Part 3, Solutions; Part 4, Answers Without Solutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
