In this chapter, I present how to solve problems using numerical techniques. First, interpolation and extrapolation methods are introduced. Next, curve fitting and root finding are explained. Finally, numerical integration and numerical differentiation are covered.

Interpolation and Extrapolation

It is possible to find the corresponding value of a point within a given domain using the function interp1 when dealing with interpolation in one-dimensional applications. It is also possible to find a value that is out of a given domain via the same function. This method is called extrapolation. Various methods such ...
