interpolation

  • Polynomial interpolationThe six points (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and so forth, represent values of an unknown function. A third-degree polynomial has been constructed so that four of its values match four of the values of the unknown function. Other third-degree polynomials could be made to match other sets of four values of the unknown function, or a polynomial of at most degree five could be found to match all six points.
    In interpolation

    …then the following formula of Isaac Newton produces a polynomial function that fits the data: f(x) = a0 + a1(x − x0)/h + a2(x − x0)(x − x1)/2!h2
