A form of notation of the interpolation polynomial obtained from the Stirling interpolation formula by means of the nodes at a point :

using the relations

After collecting similar terms, the Steffensen interpolation formula can be written in the form

Comments

The central differences , ( ) are defined recursively from the (tabulated values) by the formulas

The Steffensen interpolation formula is also known as Everett's second formula.
