The ยง details did not mention interpolation explicity; thanks.

The motivation of this post was simple differentiation of a tangent point
(dy/dx) manually, then wondering how to re-think in modern-day computing terms.
Hence the original question about asking the appropriate functions/syntax to
read further ("curiosity"), not the answer (indeed, "homework"). :)
Personal curiosity should be considered "homework".
