10 Feb 2005	Aleksey Rozsdobudko	what did u write?????? It can write even a child!!!! dont use such words as "for","while" and anything like that in the matlab cos it's STUPPIDNESS!!!!!!

07 Oct 2006	John D'Errico	Lagrange interpolation is one of those interpolation methods that beginning textbooks include, along the way to showing you some useful methods. I imagine the textbook authors want to show you some of the history of interpolation. The fact is, high order Lagrange interpolation of this ilk was a only ever a good idea BACK IN the time of Lagrange. There has actually been progress in knowledge since then. (Surprise!) This is a terribly poor choice of interpolation method today. In general, splines or other methods like them (PCHIP) will be less likely to introduce interpolation artifacts, oscillations, etc. Splines will be FAR less sensitive to tiny amounts of noise than will a high order Lagrange. Even if I choose to disregard the method it implements, the code itself is poorly implemented. It is triply looped - totally unvectorized. Expect it to be slow and if you have a large number of points, it will take more memory than need be. If you need to use an interpolation tool, start with interp1, spline, or pchip, or look to the splines toolbox for more choices.
