Notes on Lagrange Interpolating Polynomials

https://eli.thegreenplace.net/images/2026/lagrange-basis.png
Polynomial interpolation is a method of finding a polynomial function that fits a given set of data perfectly. More concretely, suppose we have a set of distinct points [1]: This post discusses a common approach to solving this problem, and also shows why such a polynomial exists and is unique. \[\begin{aligned} p(x_0)&=a_0 + a_1 x_0 + a_2 x_0^2 + \cdots a_n x_0^n = y_0\\ p(x_1)&=a_0 ...
