Package @code{interpol} defines the Lagrangian, the linear and the cubic 
splines methods for polynomial interpolation.

@section Functions and Variables for interpol


@deffn {Function} lagrange (@var{points})
@deffnx {Function} lagrange (@var{points}, @var{option})
Computes the polynomial interpolation by the Lagrangian method. Argument @var{points} must be either:

@itemize @bullet
@item
a two column matrix, @code{p:matrix([2,4],[5,6],[9,3])},
@item
a list of pairs, @code{p: [[2,4],[5,6],[9,3]]},
@item
a list of numbers, @code{p: [4,6,3]}, in which case the abscissas will be assigned automatically to 1, 2, 3, etc.
@end itemize

In the first two cases the pairs are ordered with respect to the first coordinate before making computations.

With the @var{option} argument it is possible to select the name for the independent variable, which is @code{'x} by default; to define another one, write something like @code{varname='z}. 

Note that when working with high degree polynomials, floating point evaluations are unstable.

Examples:

@example
(%i1) load(interpol)$
(%i2) p:[[7,2],[8,2],[1,5],[3,2],[6,7]]$
(%i3) lagrange(p);

@deffn {Function} cspline (@var{points})
@deffnx {Function} cspline (@var{points}, @var{option1}, @var{option2}, ...)
Computes the polynomial interpolation by the cubic splines method. Argument @var{points} must be either:

@itemize @bullet
@item
a two column matrix, @code{p:matrix([2,4],[5,6],[9,3])},

In the first two cases the pairs are ordered with respect to the first coordinate before making computations.

There are three options to fit specific needs:
@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{'d1}, default @code{'unknown}, is the first derivative at @math{x_1}; if it is @code{'unknown}, the second derivative at @math{x_1} is made equal to 0 (natural cubic spline); if it is equal to a number, the second derivative is calculated based on this number.

@item
@code{'dn}, default @code{'unknown}, is the first derivative at @math{x_n}; if it is @code{'unknown}, the second derivative at @math{x_n} is made equal to 0 (natural cubic spline); if it is equal to a number, the second derivative is calculated based on this number.

@item
@code{'varname}, default @code{'x}, is the name of the independent variable.

@deffn {Function} ratinterpol (@var{points}, @var{numdeg})
@deffnx {Function} ratinterpol (@var{points}, @var{numdeg}, @var{option1}, @var{option2}, ...)
Generates a rational interpolator for data given by @var{points} and the degree of the numerator
being equal to @var{numdeg}; the degree of the denominator is calculated
automatically. Argument @var{points} must be either:

@itemize @bullet
@item
a two column matrix, @code{p:matrix([2,4],[5,6],[9,3])},
@item
a list of pairs, @code{p: [[2,4],[5,6],[9,3]]},
@item
a list of numbers, @code{p: [4,6,3]}, in which case the abscissas will be assigned automatically to 1, 2, 3, etc.
@end itemize

In the first two cases the pairs are ordered with respect to the first coordinate before making computations.

There are two options to fit specific needs:
@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{'denterm}, default @code{1}, is the independent term of the polynomial in the denominator.

@item
@code{'varname}, default @code{'x}, is the name of the independent variable.
