文摘The n-divided difference of the composite function h := f o g of functions f, g at a group of nodes t0,t1,…,tn is shown by the combinations of divided differences of f at the group of nodes g(t0),g(t1),…,g(tm) and divided differences of g at several partial group of nodes t0,t1,…,tn, where m = 1,2,…,n. Especially, when the given group of nodes are equal to each other completely, it will lead to Faà di Bruno's formula of higher derivatives of function h.
