Lagrange Interpolation is a polynomial interpolation method used to estimate unknown values from known data points by constructing a polynomial that passes through all given points. It is particularly useful for numerical analysis and curve fitting, providing an exact fit for the data points but can be computationally intensive for large datasets.

Numerical analysis is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the development and implementation of algorithms to obtain numerical solutions to mathematical problems that are often too complex for analytical solutions. It is essential in scientific computing, enabling the approximation of solutions for differential equations, optimization problems, and other mathematical models across various fields.

Curve fitting is the process of constructing a curve or mathematical function that best fits a series of data points, often used to infer relationships between variables. It is crucial in data analysis and modeling, enabling predictions and insights from empirical data by minimizing the difference between the observed data and the model's predictions.
