def lagrange(x, w):
    r"""
    Return a Lagrange interpolating polynomial.

    Given two 1-D arrays `x` and `w,` returns the Lagrange interpolating
    polynomial through the points ``(x, w)``.

    Warning: This implementation is numerically unstable. Do not expect to
    be able to use more than about 20 points even if they are chosen optimally.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like
        `x` represents the x-coordinates of a set of datapoints.
    w : array_like
        `w` represents the y-coordinates of a set of datapoints, i.e., f(`x`).

    Returns
    -------
    lagrange : `numpy.poly1d` instance
        The Lagrange interpolating polynomial.

    Examples
    --------
    Interpolate :math:`f(x) = x^3` by 3 points.

    >>> from scipy.interpolate import lagrange
    >>> x = np.array([0, 1, 2])
    >>> y = x**3
    >>> poly = lagrange(x, y)

    Since there are only 3 points, Lagrange polynomial has degree 2. Explicitly,
    it is given by

    .. math::

        \begin{aligned}
            L(x) &= 1\times \frac{x (x - 2)}{-1} + 8\times \frac{x (x-1)}{2} \\
                 &= x (-2 + 3x)
        \end{aligned}

    >>> Polynomial(poly).coef

class interp2d(object):
    """
    interp2d(x, y, z, kind='linear', copy=True, bounds_error=False,
             fill_value=None)

    Interpolate over a 2-D grid.

    `x`, `y` and `z` are arrays of values used to approximate some function
    f: ``z = f(x, y)``. This class returns a function whose call method uses
    spline interpolation to find the value of new points.

    If `x` and `y` represent a regular grid, consider using
    RectBivariateSpline.

    Note that calling `interp2d` with NaNs present in input values results in
    undefined behaviour.

    Methods
    -------
    __call__

    Parameters
    ----------
    x, y : array_like
        Arrays defining the data point coordinates.

        If the points lie on a regular grid, `x` can specify the column
        coordinates and `y` the row coordinates, for example::

          >>> x = [0,1,2];  y = [0,3]; z = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6]]

        Otherwise, `x` and `y` must specify the full coordinates for each
        point, for example::

          >>> x = [0,1,2,0,1,2];  y = [0,0,0,3,3,3]; z = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

        If `x` and `y` are multidimensional, they are flattened before use.
    z : array_like
        The values of the function to interpolate at the data points. If
        `z` is a multidimensional array, it is flattened before use.  The
        length of a flattened `z` array is either
        len(`x`)*len(`y`) if `x` and `y` specify the column and row coordinates
        or ``len(z) == len(x) == len(y)`` if `x` and `y` specify coordinates
        for each point.
    kind : {'linear', 'cubic', 'quintic'}, optional
        The kind of spline interpolation to use. Default is 'linear'.
    copy : bool, optional
        If True, the class makes internal copies of x, y and z.
        If False, references may be used. The default is to copy.
    bounds_error : bool, optional
        If True, when interpolated values are requested outside of the
        domain of the input data (x,y), a ValueError is raised.
        If False, then `fill_value` is used.
    fill_value : number, optional
        If provided, the value to use for points outside of the
        interpolation domain. If omitted (None), values outside
        the domain are extrapolated via nearest-neighbor extrapolation.

    BivariateSpline : a more recent wrapper of the FITPACK routines

    Notes
    -----
    The minimum number of data points required along the interpolation
    axis is ``(k+1)**2``, with k=1 for linear, k=3 for cubic and k=5 for
    quintic interpolation.

    The interpolator is constructed by `bisplrep`, with a smoothing factor
    of 0. If more control over smoothing is needed, `bisplrep` should be
    used directly.

    Examples
    --------
    Construct a 2-D grid and interpolate on it:

    >>> from scipy import interpolate
    >>> x = np.arange(-5.01, 5.01, 0.25)
    >>> y = np.arange(-5.01, 5.01, 0.25)
    >>> xx, yy = np.meshgrid(x, y)
    >>> z = np.sin(xx**2+yy**2)
    >>> f = interpolate.interp2d(x, y, z, kind='cubic')

    Now use the obtained interpolation function and plot the result:

    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> xnew = np.arange(-5.01, 5.01, 1e-2)
    >>> ynew = np.arange(-5.01, 5.01, 1e-2)
    >>> znew = f(xnew, ynew)
    >>> plt.plot(x, z[0, :], 'ro-', xnew, znew[0, :], 'b-')
    >>> plt.show()

class interp1d(_Interpolator1D):
    """
    Interpolate a 1-D function.

    `x` and `y` are arrays of values used to approximate some function f:
    ``y = f(x)``. This class returns a function whose call method uses
    interpolation to find the value of new points.

    Note that calling `interp1d` with NaNs present in input values results in
    undefined behaviour.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : (N,) array_like
        A 1-D array of real values.
    y : (...,N,...) array_like
        A N-D array of real values. The length of `y` along the interpolation
        axis must be equal to the length of `x`.
    kind : str or int, optional
        Specifies the kind of interpolation as a string
        ('linear', 'nearest', 'zero', 'slinear', 'quadratic', 'cubic',
        'previous', 'next', where 'zero', 'slinear', 'quadratic' and 'cubic'
        refer to a spline interpolation of zeroth, first, second or third
        order; 'previous' and 'next' simply return the previous or next value
        of the point) or as an integer specifying the order of the spline
        interpolator to use.
        Default is 'linear'.
    axis : int, optional
        Specifies the axis of `y` along which to interpolate.
        Interpolation defaults to the last axis of `y`.
    copy : bool, optional
        If True, the class makes internal copies of x and y.
        If False, references to `x` and `y` are used. The default is to copy.
    bounds_error : bool, optional
        If True, a ValueError is raised any time interpolation is attempted on
        a value outside of the range of x (where extrapolation is
        necessary). If False, out of bounds values are assigned `fill_value`.
        By default, an error is raised unless ``fill_value="extrapolate"``.
    fill_value : array-like or (array-like, array_like) or "extrapolate", optional
        - if a ndarray (or float), this value will be used to fill in for
          requested points outside of the data range. If not provided, then
          the default is NaN. The array-like must broadcast properly to the
          dimensions of the non-interpolation axes.
        - If a two-element tuple, then the first element is used as a
          fill value for ``x_new < x[0]`` and the second element is used for
          ``x_new > x[-1]``. Anything that is not a 2-element tuple (e.g.,
          list or ndarray, regardless of shape) is taken to be a single
          array-like argument meant to be used for both bounds as
          ``below, above = fill_value, fill_value``.

          .. versionadded:: 0.17.0
        - If "extrapolate", then points outside the data range will be
          extrapolated.

          .. versionadded:: 0.17.0
    assume_sorted : bool, optional
        If False, values of `x` can be in any order and they are sorted first.
        If True, `x` has to be an array of monotonically increasing values.

        This routine works only on real-valued polynomials.

        If the piecewise polynomial contains sections that are
        identically zero, the root list will contain the start point
        of the corresponding interval, followed by a ``nan`` value.

        If the polynomial is discontinuous across a breakpoint, and
        there is a sign change across the breakpoint, this is reported
        if the `discont` parameter is True.

        Notes
        -----
        If ``k`` derivatives are specified at a breakpoint ``x``, the
        constructed polynomial is exactly ``k`` times continuously
        differentiable at ``x``, unless the ``order`` is provided explicitly.
        In the latter case, the smoothness of the polynomial at
        the breakpoint is controlled by the ``order``.

        Deduces the number of derivatives to match at each end
        from ``order`` and the number of derivatives available. If
        possible it uses the same number of derivatives from
        each end; if the number is odd it tries to take the
        extra one from y2. In any case if not enough derivatives
        are available at one end or another it draws enough to
        make up the total from the other end.

        If the order is too high and not enough derivatives are available,
        an exception is raised.

        Examples
        --------

        >>> from scipy.interpolate import BPoly
        >>> BPoly.from_derivatives([0, 1], [[1, 2], [3, 4]])

        Creates a polynomial `f(x)` of degree 3, defined on `[0, 1]`
        such that `f(0) = 1, df/dx(0) = 2, f(1) = 3, df/dx(1) = 4`

        >>> BPoly.from_derivatives([0, 1, 2], [[0, 1], [0], [2]])

        Creates a piecewise polynomial `f(x)`, such that
        `f(0) = f(1) = 0`, `f(2) = 2`, and `df/dx(0) = 1`.
        Based on the number of derivatives provided, the order of the
        local polynomials is 2 on `[0, 1]` and 1 on `[1, 2]`.
        Notice that no restriction is imposed on the derivatives at
        ``x = 1`` and ``x = 2``.

        Indeed, the explicit form of the polynomial is::

            f(x) = | x * (1 - x),  0 <= x < 1
                   | 2 * (x - 1),  1 <= x <= 2

        So that f'(1-0) = -1 and f'(1+0) = 2

        First of all,

        If B(x) is a linear combination of the form

        then :math: B'(x) = n \sum_{a=0}^{n-1} (c_{a+1} - c_{a}) b_{a, n-1}.
        Iterating the latter one, one finds for the q-th derivative

            .. math:: B^{q}(x) = n!/(n-q)! \sum_{a=0}^{n-q} Q_a b_{a, n-q},

        with

          .. math:: Q_a = \sum_{j=0}^{q} (-)^{j+q} comb(q, j) c_{j+a}

        This way, only `a=0` contributes to :math: `B^{q}(x = xa)`, and
        `c_q` are found one by one by iterating `q = 0, ..., na`.

        At ``x = xb`` it's the same with ``a = n - q``.

class RegularGridInterpolator(object):
    """
    Interpolation on a regular grid in arbitrary dimensions

    The data must be defined on a regular grid; the grid spacing however may be
    uneven. Linear and nearest-neighbor interpolation are supported. After
    setting up the interpolator object, the interpolation method (*linear* or
    *nearest*) may be chosen at each evaluation.

    Parameters
    ----------
    points : tuple of ndarray of float, with shapes (m1, ), ..., (mn, )
        The points defining the regular grid in n dimensions.

    values : array_like, shape (m1, ..., mn, ...)
        The data on the regular grid in n dimensions.

    method : str, optional
        The method of interpolation to perform. Supported are "linear" and
        "nearest". This parameter will become the default for the object's
        ``__call__`` method. Default is "linear".

    bounds_error : bool, optional
        If True, when interpolated values are requested outside of the
        domain of the input data, a ValueError is raised.
        If False, then `fill_value` is used.

    fill_value : number, optional
        If provided, the value to use for points outside of the
        interpolation domain. If None, values outside
        the domain are extrapolated.

    Methods
    -------
    __call__

    Notes
    -----
    Contrary to LinearNDInterpolator and NearestNDInterpolator, this class
    avoids expensive triangulation of the input data by taking advantage of the
    regular grid structure.

    If any of `points` have a dimension of size 1, linear interpolation will
    return an array of `nan` values. Nearest-neighbor interpolation will work
    as usual in this case.

    .. versionadded:: 0.14

    Examples
    --------
    Evaluate a simple example function on the points of a 3-D grid:

    >>> from scipy.interpolate import RegularGridInterpolator
    >>> def f(x, y, z):
    ...     return 2 * x**3 + 3 * y**2 - z
    >>> x = np.linspace(1, 4, 11)
    >>> y = np.linspace(4, 7, 22)
    >>> z = np.linspace(7, 9, 33)
    >>> data = f(*np.meshgrid(x, y, z, indexing='ij', sparse=True))

    ``data`` is now a 3-D array with ``data[i,j,k] = f(x[i], y[j], z[k])``.
    Next, define an interpolating function from this data:

    >>> my_interpolating_function = RegularGridInterpolator((x, y, z), data)

    Evaluate the interpolating function at the two points
    ``(x,y,z) = (2.1, 6.2, 8.3)`` and ``(3.3, 5.2, 7.1)``:

    >>> pts = np.array([[2.1, 6.2, 8.3], [3.3, 5.2, 7.1]])
    >>> my_interpolating_function(pts)
    array([ 125.80469388,  146.30069388])

    which is indeed a close approximation to
    ``[f(2.1, 6.2, 8.3), f(3.3, 5.2, 7.1)]``.
