Minterpy is an open-source Python package designed for constructing
and manipulating multivariate interpolating polynomials
with the goal of lifting the curse of dimensionality from interpolation tasks.

Minterpy is being continuously extended and improved,
with new functionalities added to address the bottlenecks involving
interpolations in various computational tasks.

## Installation

You can obtain the stable release of Minterpy directly
from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/minterpy/) using `pip`:

```bash
pip install minterpy
```

Alternatively, you can also obtain the latest version of Minterpy
from the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/minterpy-project/minterpy):

```bash
git clone https://github.com/minterpy-project/minterpy
```

Then from the source directory, you can install Minterpy:

```bash
pip install [-e] .[all,dev,docs]
```

where the flag `-e` means the package is directly linked into
the python site-packages of your Python version.
The options `[all,dev,docs]` refer to the requirements defined
in the `options.extras_require` section in `setup.cfg`.

A best practice is to first create a virtual environment with the help of
a tool like [mamba], [conda], [venv], [virtualenv] or [pyenv-virtualenv].
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.

**NOTE**: **Do not** use the command `python setup.py install`
to install Minterpy, as we cannot guarantee that the file `setup.py`
will always be present in the further development of Minterpy.

## Quickstart

Using Minterpy, you can easily interpolate a given function.
For instance, take the one-dimensional function $`f(x) = x \, \sin{(10x)}`$
with $x \in [-1, 1]$:

```python
import numpy as np

def test_function(x):
    return x * np.sin(10*x)
```

To interpolate the function, you can use the top-level function `interpolate()`:

```python
import minterpy as mp

interpolant = mp.interpolate(test_function, spatial_dimension=1, poly_degree=64)
```

`interpolate()` takes as arguments the function to interpolate,
the number of dimensions (`spatial_dimension`),
and the degree of the underlying polynomial interpolant (`poly_degree`).
You may adjust this parameter in order to get higher accuracy.
The resulting `interpolant` is a Python callable,
which can be used as an approximation of `test_function`.

In this example, an interpolating polynomial of degree $64$ produces
an approximation of `test_function` to near machine precision:

```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

xx = np.linspace(-1, 1, 150)

plt.plot(xx, interpolant(xx), label="interpolant")
plt.plot(xx, test_function(xx), "k.",label="test function")
plt.legend()
plt.show()
```

Minterpy's capabilities extend beyond function approximation;
by accessing the underlying interpolating polynomials,
you can carry out common numerical operations on the approximations
like multiplication and differentiation:

```python
# Access the underlying Newton interpolating polynomial  
nwt_poly = interpolant.to_newton()  
# Multiply the polynomial -> obtained another polynomial  
prod_poly = nwt_poly * nwt_poly  
# Differentiate the polynomial once -> obtained another polynomial  
diff_poly = nwt_poly.diff(1)  
# Reference function for the (once) differentiated test function
diff_fun = lambda xx: np.sin(10 * xx) + xx * 10 * np.cos(10 * xx)

fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(10, 5))  
  
axs[0].plot(xx, prod_poly(xx), label="product polynomial")
axs[0].plot(xx, fun(xx)**2, "k.", label="product test function")
axs[0].legend()
axs[0].set_xlabel("$x$")
axs[0].set_ylabel("$y$")
axs[1].plot(xx, diff_poly(xx), label="differentiated polynomial")
axs[1].plot(xx, diff_fun(xx), "k.", label="differentiated test function")
axs[1].legend()
axs[1].set_xlabel("$x$")
  
plt.show()  
```

provide more examples on approximating functions and performing operations
on interpolating polynomials, including multidimensional cases.
