Solution (source code)

= Solution

Induct on $k$, using the recursive divided-difference formula. After substituting the two induction hypotheses, use
$$
f[t_1,\ldots,t_m]-f[t_0,\ldots,t_{m-1}]
=(t_m-t_0)f[t_0,\ldots,t_m]
$$
and the analogous identity for $g$; adjacent terms telescope. This proves
$$
\boxed{(fg)[t_0,\ldots,t_k]
=\sum_{m=0}^kf[t_0,\ldots,t_m]g[t_m,\ldots,t_k]}.
$$
