I SENT AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BB

COLLAB ULTRA SESSION FOR A2 ===
BOTH GROUPS SHOULD BE PRESENT
NUMERICAL METHODS
INTERPOLATION
 interpolation is the process of finding an
approximation to a function at some point
INTERPOLATION intermediate to 2 known function values

➢ process of finding and evaluating a function

whose graph goes through a set of points.

polynomial function
➢ interpolating function

spline function
 What was done was to determine the straight line connecting
(or interpolating) the known values and evaluate it at the
INTERPOLATION Intermediate value
This evaluation was taken to approximate the desired but unknown function value.
Although modern calculators make this method obsolete for
approximation, it is still used for functions that are extremely difficult or
expensive to compute or for real- time sampled data.
(x3,y3)

(x2,y2)

(xn,yn)
(x1,y1)
(x0,y0)

Objective: Evaluate the interpolating function at specified value/s of x not given in the
tabulated values.
 Linear Interpolation: Requirement >> two points
Recall that through any
2 points in a plane
(x0, y0) and (x1, y1) with
x0 = x1 (x1,y1)
there is a unique straight
line that passes through
them: error
(x0,y0)
Analytic Geometry: x
Two-Point Form
( x1 − x ) y0 + ( x0 − x ) y1
P1 ( x ) =
x1 − x0
= y0 +  ( y1 − y0 )
x − x0
where  =
x1 − x0
This line is said to interpolate the data {(xi, yi) | i = 0, 1}.

Also, similar to this, it is a fact/ it is true for 3 data

points {(xi, yi) | i = 0, 1, 2}, with x0, x1, and x2 distinct.

There is a unique quadratic that passes through, or

interpolates, them.

Finding this quadratic and/or higher order polynomials

for more data points is the topic of course outcome 2.
Given n+1 data points {(xi, yi) | i = 0, 1, . . ., n} with all xi,
i = 0, 1, . . . , n distinct. In many texts the values xi,
i = 0, 1, . . . , n are called the nodes.

A function F(x) that satifies the conditions F(xi) = yi,

i= 0, 1, . . . , n is said to interpolate the data.

The process of finding F(x) is called interpolation and

F(x) is called an interpolating function.
If F(x) = p(x) is a polynomial then
p(x) is called an interpolating polynomial.
