The symbolic power of Mathematica is utilized to prove a theorem for the error term in Lagrange interpolating formula. Derivation of the Lagrange formula is provided symbolically and numerically. Runge phenomenon is also illustrated. A simple and efficient symbolic derivation of cubic splines is also provided. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[No Keyword Available]Article3039364369
