Numerical Methods LAB: Lagrange Interpolation

The document discusses Lagrange interpolation, which is a method for polynomial interpolation of data points. It defines Lagrange interpolation polynomials as polynomials of degree n, where n is the number of data points minus 1. The general form of a Lagrange interpolation polynomial is presented, which represents the polynomial as a weighted sum of values at the data points. An example of using Lagrange interpolation to find the value of y at a particular x-point is shown. Steps for solving a system of linear equations using Lagrange interpolation in MATLAB are also provided.

Lagrange Interpolation

By Engr Ayaz Mahmood Khan


What is Lagrange Interpolation ??
• Lagrange interpolating polynomials are a particular form of
polynomials
• The method is based on creating a polynomial of degree n. The
degree depends on the number of points considered in the data set
so they should be n+1 points
• If data points are 5 then polynomial will be of degree 4
