def finite_diff(expression, variable, increment=1):
"""
Takes as input a polynomial expression and the variable used to construct
it and returns the difference between function's value when the input is
incremented to 1 and the original function value. If you want an increment
other than one supply it as a third argument.
Examples
========
>>> from sympy.abc import x, y, z
>>> from sympy.series.kauers import finite_diff
>>> finite_diff(x**2, x)
2*x + 1
>>> finite_diff(y**3 + 2*y**2 + 3*y + 4, y)
3*y**2 + 7*y + 6
>>> finite_diff(x**2 + 3*x + 8, x, 2)
4*x + 10
>>> finite_diff(z**3 + 8*z, z, 3)
9*z**2 + 27*z + 51

expression = expression.expand()

def finite_diff_kauers(sum):
"""
Takes as input a Sum instance and returns the difference between the sum
with the upper index incremented by 1 and the original sum. For example,
if S(n) is a sum, then finite_diff_kauers will return S(n + 1) - S(n).
