McKay's Interpolation Theorem

McKay's Interpolation Theorem is a concept in mathematics that helps us understand how to fill in gaps in information. Imagine you have a few known points on a graph and want to estimate the values between them. This theorem assures us that if we have certain conditions met, there is a smooth way, known as a polynomial, to create a curve that passes through all these points. Essentially, it guarantees we can build a continuous function that accurately represents the data we have, ensuring that we can predict values effectively between known points.
