Professor, I think that A newton polynomial of Question #3 is not (B) but (C). And at Question #1 $$y=C_1+C_2\sqrt x+C_3x,$$ I use algorism by Least square - combination of functions. I do like this: $$f_1(x_1)=1, f_2(x_2)=\sqrt x, f_3(x_3)=x.$$If I use algorism by just Least square, Is it same correct algorism?

Yes, this seems OK. You're on the right track. You need to further improve your spelling and orthograph thus.

Dear professor, in Assignment #6 Question#3 .What mean is "multidimensional piecewise-linear interpolation" ? Is it use "multidimensional interpolation "solving ideas ,but use piecewise-linear method?

Dear professor, in Assignment #6 Question#3 .answer should be -0.9,0.7333. Given answer that the order is reversed
True. It's fixed now. 1 point bonus.

professor, when we use cubic spline to interpolate n+1 points (x0,y0),(x1,y1),...(xn,yn), we can get n piecewise cubic polynomials for n intervals. However, why should we calculate n+1 b in the matrix?
11.27.17
Because $b$ is needed on the boundary nodes as well as on the inner nodes to close the system. Thus, you need $N$ $b$, not $(N-1=n)$ $b$.

Dear professor, for the $I_i$ equation discussed in the end of the class today, I think it should be $\frac{\Delta x_i ^{3}}{24}f^{\prime \prime}(x_m)$ instead of $\frac{\Delta x_i ^{3}}{3}f^{\prime \prime}(x_m)$ as you have written in class.
Yes, this is quite possible. You'll need to prove this in the next assignment I think.

Professor, I have a question about a cubic spline. When we use the cubic spline, Why we assume the only third polynomial like that $$f(x) = ax^{3}+bx^{2}+cx^{1}+d$$ Can we use any different expression such as the exponential function with the natural constant, log function and etc... ?
11.28.17
This may lead to some issues when joining the different polynomials with each other so that the first, second, and third derivatives match. But there may be a way.. Hmm, this is giving me an idea... Maybe I'll ask you a similar question in the final exam..
