Tutorial 3 (Chapter4 Interpolation)

This document discusses using Lagrange polynomials and Newton's interpolating polynomials to approximate values of functions from given data tables. It provides examples of determining values of functions analytically and through interpolation using 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order polynomials. The examples analyze the accuracy of different orders of interpolation. The document also discusses using cubic splines to interpolate values and constructing natural cubic spline functions.
