Objective:
• Using Newton's Interpolation, estimate the temperature at 10:30 AM
(t = 10.5 hours).
Solution Approach:
• Newton's Divided Differences: Construct an interpolation polynomial
using only the temperature data.
MATLAB programing
1. Draw the flowchart of the MATLAB program implementing the Newton’s
method.
2. Write the MATLAB code to compute the interpolation and validate the
result.
General Instruction:
- Perform all calculations manually before using MATLAB.
Good Luck!
