Abstract: In this paper, a short review of the calculus of exact finite-differences of integer order is proposed. The finite-difference operators are called the exact finite-differences of integer orders, if these operators satisfy the same characteristic algebraic relations as standard differential operators of the same order on some function space. In this paper, we prove theorem that this property of the exact finite-differences is satisfies for the space of simple entire functions on the real axis (i.e., functions that can be expanded into power series on the real axis). In addition, new results that describe the exact finite-differences beyond the set of entire functions are proposed. A generalized expression of exact finite-differences for non-entire functions is suggested. As an example, the exact finite-differences of the square root function is considered. The use of exact finite-differences for numerical and computer simulations is not discussed in this paper. Exact finite-differences are considered as an algebraic analog of standard derivatives of integer order.
