Implements the representation of a real polynomial function in Newton Form. For reference, see Elementary Numerical Analysis, ISBN 0070124477, chapter 2.

The formula of polynomial in Newton form is p(x) = a[0] + a[1](x-c[0]) + a[2](x-c[0])(x-c[1]) + ... + a[n](x-c[0])(x-c[1])...(x-c[n-1]) Note that the length of a[] is one more than the length of c[]

Construct a Newton polynomial with the given a[] and c[]. The order of centers are important in that if c[] shuffle, then values of a[] would completely change, not just a permutation of old a[].

The constructor makes copy of the input arrays and assigns them.
