Why don't they teach Newton's calculus of 'What comes next?' (2021x6)

Fecha de emisión: Oct 02, 2021

Another long one. Obviously not for the faint of heart :) Anyway, this one is about the beautiful discreet counterpart of calculus, the calculus of sequences or the calculus of differences. Pretty much like in Alice's Wonderland things are strangely familiar and yet very different in this alternate reality calculus. Featuring the Newton-Gregory interpolation formula, a powerful what comes next oracle, and some very off-the-beaten track spottings of some all-time favourites such as the Fibonacci sequence, Pascal's triangle and Maclaurin series.
