Hi,
Here is one way,
Out[16]= {a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7}
In[17]:= Table[a[[i+1]]-a[[i]], {i,1,Length[a]-1, 1}]
Out[17]= {-a1 + a2, -a2 + a3, -a3 + a4, -a4 + a5, -a5 + a6, -a6 + a7}
NB. Avoid using the underscore character on the right hand side for naming
of variables. The underscore character has special meaning in Mathematica.
Ciao
