Interpolation

• The data are known to be very precise


• To fit a curve or a series of curves that pass directly through each of the
points.
• Estimate values between well-known discrete points.

nth-order polynomial general formula


• 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎0 + 𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑎2 𝑥 2 + … + 𝑎𝑛 𝑥 𝑛
Polynomial Interpolation
• A polynomial interpolation is a method of interpolation done by obtaining the
lowest degree polynomial that passes through all given points. If there are
n+1 ordered pairs in the data, the lowest degree of the polynomial that can
connect these points is n(e.g., a data of 4 pairs can be connected by a
polynomial to the 3rd degree). The basic concept of this interpolation can be
illustrated by the example below.

nth degree polynomial (n+1) ordered pairs

1st degree 2 distinct points

2nd degree 3 distinct points

3rd degree 4 distinct points
