What is s`(s prime) you ask? First you need to know what s is. S is the original series from which you are going to find s`(s prime). Then s` is the first row in this series. S` can also be know as the change in s or `ds(delta s).
Now you start off by listing your s row of data, so you can visualize it.
Next you need to find the difference between each of you adjacent data points and those numbers are your s`(s prime) series.
So s` is the difference in each adjacent number of your s series and if you were to continue to find the difference in each of the adjacent numbers each additional row would be called s``(s double prime), s```(s triple prime), etc..,
