... 1. If a polynomial function ƒ(x) has degree n, then the nth-order differences of function values for equally spaced x-values are nonzero and constant. 2. Conversely, if the nth-order differences of equally-spaced data are nonzero and constant, then the data can be represented by a polynomial functio ...
