Gregory-Newton Forward Difference Formula: Also known as

The Gregory-Newton forward difference formula is also known as:

the Newton-Gregory forward difference formula

Newton's forward difference formula

the forward difference formula

and so on.

Some sources refer to this as Gregory-Newton interpolation, but this is used on $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ to encompass the Gregory-Newton backward difference formula as well.
