Interpolation and Taylor approximation

Fitting polynomials through points, and approximating functions near a centre.

Through n + 1 points passes exactly one polynomial of degree n (Lagrange). Near a point, the Taylor polynomial matches the derivatives. Picture it: the dashed polynomial hugging the curve near the centre and peeling away. Think it: approximation theory asks for the best polynomial over a whole interval, Chebyshev, not Taylor.

Ερωτήσεις που κάνουν οι άνθρωποι

Why not just solve exactly?

Most equations have no closed-form solution at all, and many that do are unusable in practice. A numerical method delivers as many correct digits as you need, and a good one tells you how many that is.

Why can Newton's method fail?

If it starts where the tangent is nearly flat it shoots far away; near a repeated root it slows to a crawl; and with several roots it may land on the wrong one. A bracketing method like bisection is slower but cannot fail.
