In mathematics, "first differences" refer to the differences between consecutive values in a sequence or a function. For example, if you have a sequence of numbers, the first differences are calculated by subtracting each number from the one that follows it. This technique is often used in calculus and numerical analysis to analyze the behavior of functions and to approximate derivatives. It can also help identify patterns, trends, or whether a sequence is linear.
