The document discusses Lagrange interpolation, a polynomial interpolation method. It introduces Joseph-Louis Lagrange, who developed the method. The method uses Lagrange polynomials to find an nth degree polynomial approximation to a function based on a set of points. The document provides the Lagrange interpolation formula and shows an example of using it. It also discusses inverse interpolation and provides an example. Finally, it outlines the advantages and disadvantages of the Lagrange interpolation method.
