Lecture 16. 



Polynomial Interpolation
I went through an application first. The matlab that I used is stored in the attached m-file.

We then saw how to use Vandermonde matrices to obtain an interpolating polynomial with the,
monomial basis. Along the way we performed a complexity analysis of this technique. To do this we needed to explore evaluating a polynomial using Horner's method. I then did an example of linear interpolation in order to develope the technique of interpolating with the Lagrange Basis.
