Newton'S Divided Difference Interpolating Polynomials

The document discusses two methods of polynomial interpolation: Newton's divided difference and Lagrange interpolation. Newton's divided difference method is demonstrated using second and third order polynomials to interpolate data points. Lagrange interpolation is also demonstrated with first and second order polynomials. For a data set with three points, the second order Lagrange interpolation polynomial is calculated to be 114.2682391.
