Linear interpolation the simplest form of interpolation is probably the straight line, connecting two points by a straight line. Our first such interpolation function, polyinterp, is based on the lagrange form. Each function differs in how it computes the slopes of the interpolant, leading to different behaviors when the underlying data has flat areas or undulations. Interpolation process not always produces a sequence of polynomials that converge uniformly to the interpolated function as degree of the interpolating polynomial.
