Rocket Velocity Interpolation Lab

This document provides an activity on numerical interpolation methods in MATLAB. Students are tasked with using direct interpolation, Newton's divided difference, and Lagrange interpolation to find the velocity of a rocket at t=16 seconds given a table of velocities over time. The activity involves writing pseudocode, implementing the code in MATLAB, running the simulations, and analyzing the results.
