A good interpolation polynomial needs to provide a relatively accurate approximation over an entire interval. The formula can be derived from the vandermonds determinant but a much simpler way of deriving this is from newtons divided difference formula. Lagrange interpolation calculus provides many tools that can be used to understand the behavior of functions, but in most cases it is necessary for these functions to be continuous or di erentiable.
