Hi Jens! Thanks for the hint on how to turn off the spelling errors messages. As far as the first question is concerned, you wrote: > the answers are simple > 1) Mathematica can't draw the difference because You typed P[x] (CapitalP) > but > you have only defined p[x_] (small p) > change Your last line to > Plot[Evaluate[f[x]-p[x]], {x,-1, 1}, PlotPoints -> 50]; > and all works fine. P was a misprint in my letter, but not in the actual program. Did you really run the program n = 15; f[x_] := Exp[x]; xLst = Table[Cos[((2*k - 1)*Pi)/(2*n)], {k, 1, n}]//Reverse; yLst = N[Map[f,xLst], 30]; fLst = Transpose[{xLst, yLst}]; p[x_] := InterpolatingPolynomial[fLst, x]; Plot[Evaluate[f[x]-p[x]], {x, -1, 1}, PlotPoints -> 50]; (with the last line corrected) and everything worked fine? Which computer did you use? How did you configure Plot? On my computer (Power Macintosh 7500/100, with Mathematica 30.1) this program produces garbage. Regards, Ranko
