Piecewise Cubic Interpolation

Overview

This interactive tutorial deals with a piecewise interpolation for each interval between the data points (nodes) using lower-order polynomials. Specifically, this tutorial deals with how to use third-order polynomials to insure a certain symmetry and continuity of the second-order derivative.

Learning Objective

To review a piecewise interpolation method using lower-order polynomials.

Instructions
