Example: Polynomial Interpolation: PTC Learningconnector

This document provides an overview of polynomial interpolation using three functions: polyint, polycoeff, and polyiter. Polyint performs polynomial interpolation on a data set and returns interpolated values. Polycoeff calculates both the interpolating polynomial and some of its derivatives. Polyiter performs polynomial interpolation using an iterative algorithm. The document contains examples of using each function to interpolate data points and plot the results.
