A Least Squares Interpolation Scheme for Cryogenic Thermometers Using a Hand-Held Programmable Calculator,

Abstract

A method has been found to interpolate values from a large table of data quickly and accurately using a hand-held programmable calculator. Interpolation is accomplished by evaluation of polynomials which have previously been fit to the large data table. The method is perfectly general and in particular, is ideally suited to the interpolation of calibration tables in the laboratory while an experiment is in progress. (Author)
