Hi,
In[]:=geartable = {{0, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, 3}, {3, 4}, {4, 6}, {5, 7}, {6,
9.5}, {7,
12}, {8, 14}};
gearf = Interpolation[geartable, InterpolationOrder -> 6];
In[]:=gearf[4.5]
Out[]=6.40869
And here is the derivative :
In[]:=gearf'[4.5]
Out[]=0.85599
With 8 points you can't make a interpolation with order more than 8.
Regards
Jens
