This weekend I wrote three posts related to interpolation: Compression and interpolation Bessel, Everett, and Lagrange interpolation Binomial coefficients with non-integer arguments The first post looks at reducing the size of mathematical tables by switching for linear to quadratic interpolation. The immediate application is obsolete, but the principles apply to

Microinteractions play an role in creating engaging and intuitive user experiences. These subtle animations and feedback can guide users, provide valuable information, and make interactions more enjoyable and generally look cool! One often overlooked yet super powerful micro-interaction is the use of custom cursors. Custom cursors can add a unique touch

When n and r are positive integers integers, with n ≥ r, there is an intuitive interpretation of the binomial coefficient C(n, r), namely the number of ways to select r things from a set of n things. For this reason C(n, r) is usually pronounced “n choose r.” But

I never heard of Bessel or Everett interpolation until long after college. I saw Lagrange interpolation several times. Why Lagrange and not Bessel or Everett? First of all, Bessel interpolation and Everett interpolation are not different kinds of interpolation; they are different algorithms for carrying out the same interpolation as

Data compression is everywhere. We’re unaware of it when it is done well. We only become aware of it when it is pushed too far, such as when a photo looks grainy or fuzzy because it was compressed too much. The basic idea of data compression is to not transmit
