Understanding Interpolation in Numerical Methods
Interpolation is a fundamental mathematical operation used in numerical methods to find the value of a function between known data points. It involves computing the value of a function at any point within a given interval based on existing data. Newton's forward interpolation formula is commonly used for this purpose. In this technique, values are interpolated based on equi-distant intervals to estimate unknown values. This method is applied to interpolate values near the beginning of tabular data. An example problem involving the interpolation of steam pressure based on temperature data illustrates the practical application of Newton's formula.

INTERPOLATION AND SOLUTION OF ALGEBRAIC AND TRANSCENDENTAL EQUATIONS. INTRODUCTION
Interpolation denotes the process of computing the value of a function for any value of the independent variable within the interval for which some values are given.
Interpolation is a fundamental operation in mathematics it has been described as a art of reading between the lines of the tables.
Suppose the following table represents a set of corresponding values of two equations X and y . X : x x x ..xn Y : y y y yn. We may require the value of y=yr corresponding to a value x=xr between x0 and xn .
Suppose the following table represents a set of corresponding values of two equations X and y . X : x x x ..xn Y : y y y yn. We may require the value of y=yr corresponding to a value x=xr between x0 and xn . Thus interpolation denotes the process of computing the value of a function for any value of the independent variable within the interval for which some values are given.
The term extrapolation is used to denote the process of finding the values outside this interval. However the term interpolation is supplied to both process. Example : Y=X3+2X+5
Let yX=f(x) be a function which takes a value y0,y1,y2 .yn corresponding to the value x0,x1,x2 .xn of the independent variable of x. let the value of x be at the equi-distant intervals. yp=y0+p y0+p(p-1) 2y0+ p(p-1)(p-2) 3y0+ 2 3 p(p-1(p-2) (p-(n-1)) ny0 It is known as newtons forward interpolation formula. n

LAGRANGES INTERPOLATION FORMULA Let f(x) = y be a function which takes the values y0,y1,y2 yn corresponding to the value x = x0,x1,x2 .xn .Since there are n+1 values of y corresponding to n+1 value of x. we can represent the function f(x) by a polynomial in x of degree n. y=f(x)=(x-x1)(x-x2) .(x-xn)y0 + (x-x0)(x-x2) .(x-xn)y1+ +(x-x0)(x-x1) .(x-xn-1)yn (x0-x1)(x0-x2) .(x0-xn) (x1-x0)(x1-x2) .(x1-xn) (xn-x0)(xn-x1) .(xn-xn-1) is known as lagrange s interpolation formula. It can be used whether the values x0,x1,x2 .xn are equally spaced or not and whether the differences of y become smaller or not.
