This is an excerpt from my math models textbook. It’s about Lagrange Polynomials which is a technique that lets you fit a polynomial to a set of any number of unique points (x_1,y_1) … (x_n,y_n) so long as all your x-values are different (otherwise it wouldn’t be a function, and couldn’t be a polynomial). The polynomial you’ll calculate will be the unique, lowest degree polynomial that passes through all points.

    Sure I can convince myself, but how am I going to get Yi to agree? He’s known to be rather stubborn.
