We do both at once and define the second degree Taylor Polynomial for f (x) near the point x = a. f (x) ≈ P 2(x) = f (a)+ f (a)(x −a)+ f (a) 2 (x −a)2 Check that P 2(x) has the same first and second derivative that f (x) does at the point x = a. 4.3 Higher Order Taylor Polynomials

In this chapter, we will immediately put interpolation to use to formulate high-order quadrature and di erentiation rules. 3.1 Polynomial interpolation Given N+ 1 points x j 2R, 0 j N, and sample values y j = f(x j) of a function at these points, the polynomial interpolation problem consists in nding a polynomial p

2 Chapter 3. Interpolation There are n terms in the sum and n − 1 terms in each product, so this expression defines a polynomial of degree at most n−1.If P(x) is evaluated at x = xk, all the products except the kth are zero.Furthermore, the kth product is equal to one, so the sum is equal to yk and the interpolation conditions are satisfied. For example, consider the following data set.

Chapter 3 - Interpolation

3.1 The Interpolating Polynomial Interpolationis the process of de ning a function that \connects the dots" between speci ed (data) points. In this chapter, we focus on two closely related interpolants, thecubic splineand theshape-preserving cubic splinecalled \pchip". Two distinct points uniquely determine a straight line.

22 3. Continuous Functions If c ∈ A is an accumulation point of A, then continuity of f at c is equivalent to the condition that lim x!c f(x) = f(c), meaning that the limit of f as x → c exists and is equal to the value of f at c. Example 3.3. If f: (a,b) → R is defined on an open interval, then f is continuous on (a,b) if and only iflim x!c f(x) = f(c) for every a < c < b ...
