Newton's Interpolation Formulae
www.nptel.ac.in › content › storage2Newton's Interpolation Formulae As stated earlier, interpolation is the process of approximating a given function, whose values are known at tabular points, by a suitable polynomial, of degree which takes the values at for Note that if the given data has errors, it will also be reflected in the polynomial so obtained.
Newton's Forward Difference Formula
math.iitm.ac.in › caimna › interpolationi.e., the nth degree polynomial approximation for f(x)can be written as f(x) @ Pn(x) = f0+ rDf0+ r(r-1) D2f0 r(r-1) . . . (r - n +1) Dnf0 2! n! The formula is called Newton's (Newton-Gregory) forward interpolation formula. So if we know the forward difference values of fat x0until order nthen the above formula is
