Falling power analog of binomial theorem
Yesterday I wrote about how the right notation could make Newton’s interpolation theorem much easier to remember, revealing it as an analog of Taylor series. This post will do something similar for the binomial theorem. Let’s start with the following identity. It’s not clear that this is true, or how

Suppose one company would like to buy another company’s client list, but only if the lists don’t overlap too much. Neither company wants to hand over their list to the other before a sale takes place. What can they do? A low-tech solution would be for both parties to provide

Newton’s interpolation formula looks awfully complicated until you introduce the right notation. With the right notation, it looks like a Taylor series. Not only is this notation simpler and more memorable, it also suggests extensions. The notation we need comes in two parts. First, we need the forward difference operator
