The Theory And Practice Of Interpolation: Including Mechanical Quadrature And Other Important Problems Concerned With The Tabular Values Of Functions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163941690)

""The Theory and Practice of Interpolation"" is a book written by Herbert L. Rice and first published in 1899. The book is a comprehensive guide to interpolation, a mathematical technique used to estimate values between known data points. The author covers the theory behind interpolation, including the different types of interpolation methods, such as linear, quadratic, and cubic interpolation. The book also includes a detailed discussion of mechanical quadrature, a method used to approximate integrals. The author goes on to explore other important problems related to tabular values of functions, including the construction of tables, the calculation of logarithms and trigonometric functions, and the use of interpolation in numerical analysis. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of mathematics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the theory and practice of interpolation and its applications in various fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
