Polynomial Interpolation

Polynomial interpolation is a mathematical technique used to estimate unknown values by using a polynomial function. Imagine you have a set of points representing data or measurements—like temperature readings at different times. Polynomial interpolation finds a smooth curve (a polynomial) that passes through all these points, allowing us to predict values between them. It ensures the curve perfectly matches the known points while providing a reasonable estimation for others. This method is valuable in fields like science, engineering, and computer graphics, where accurate data predictions are essential.
