We develop a multivariate divided difference method. In addition, the explicit formulae that connect the classical finite difference interpolation coefficients for one variable curve with multivariate interpolation coefficients are established. Then to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of suggested method we used it to estimate the rate of contaminated soils by heavy metals that is evaluate the concentration of heavy metals in soil in Iraq.

1. INTRODUCTION Interpolation theory for functions of one variable has a long and distinguished history, dating back to Newton's interpolation formula and the classical calculus of finite differences, [1-3]. Standard numerical approximations to derivatives and many numerical integration methods for differential equations are based on the finite difference
calculus. However, historically, no comparable calculus was developed for functions of more than one variable. In this paper the extension of divided difference formula for multi variable are introduced with its modification to increase the accuracy and smoothening of method then applied the suggested formula to estimate the contamination in soils by heavy metals. Heavy metals in the soil refers to some significant heavy metals of biological toxicity, including zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), and arsenic (As), etc. With the development of the global economy, both type and content of heavy metals in the soil caused by human activities have gradually increased in recent years, which have resulted in serious environment deterioration. In present study we compared and analyzed suggested method with other to estimate the soil contamination by heavy metals in various zone in Alkhuyls city appurtenance to Khalis city in Iraq country. In recent years, there are many studies about this problem for its importance such [4-11] but these studies used statistical methods for processing the data. Also, there are many studies which processing the data mathematically such [12-18]. This work consist different method for choosing and processing the data.
2. D IVIDED D IFFERENCE METHOD Let f(x) be a continuous function given at the distinct point xi, i= 0,1, 2,‌,n, define the zeros divided difference of the function f with respect to xi denoted f[xi] by f[xi] = f(xi), The first divided difference of the function f with respect to x i and xi+1 denoted f[x0 ,x1] and is defined as [19]: �[�0 , �1 ] =
đ?‘“[đ?‘Ľ1 ] − đ?‘“[đ?‘Ľ0 ] đ?‘Ľ1 − đ?‘Ľ0
The second divided difference denoted f[xi, xi+1, xi+2] and is defined as: đ?‘“[đ?‘Ľ0 , đ?‘Ľ1 , đ?‘Ľ2 ] =
đ?‘“[đ?‘Ľ1 , đ?‘Ľ2 ] − đ?‘“[đ?‘Ľ0 , đ?‘Ľ1 ] đ?‘Ľ2 − đ?‘Ľ0
Similarly the nth divided difference relative to x0, x1,‌., xn-1, xn, is given by đ?‘“[đ?‘Ľ0 , đ?‘Ľ1 , ‌ . . , đ?‘Ľđ?‘›âˆ’1 , đ?‘Ľđ?‘› ] =
đ?‘“[đ?‘Ľ1 ,đ?‘Ľ2 ,‌..,đ?‘Ľđ?‘› ]−đ?‘“[đ?‘Ľ0 ,đ?‘Ľ1 ,‌.,đ?‘Ľđ?‘›âˆ’1 ] đ?‘Ľđ?‘› −đ?‘Ľ0
