Newton’s Divided Difference Method of Interpolationhttp://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
What is Interpolation ? Given (x0,y0), (x1,y1), …… (xn,yn), find the value of ‘y’ at a value of ‘x’ that is not given. http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Interpolants Polynomials are the most common choice of interpolants because they are easy to: • Evaluate • Differentiate, and • Integrate. http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu

Reduction in Diameter The actual reduction in diameter is given by where Tr = room temperature (°F) Tf= temperature of cooling medium (°F) Since Tr = 80 °F and Tr = −108 °F, Find out the percentage difference in the reduction in the diameter by the above integral formula and the result using the thermal expansion coefficient from the cubic interpolation. http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
Reduction in Diameter We know from interpolation that Therefore, http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu
