Interpolation 

In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points. In engineering and science, one often has a number of data points, obtained by sampling or experimentation, which represent the values of a function for a limited number of values of an independent variable. It is often required to interpolate (i.e., estimate) the value of that function for an intermediate value of the independent variable.
Student 1: Bro I suck at numerical techniques!
Student 2: Just because you can't do interpolation doesn't mean you suck at numerical techniques.

Interpolation 

Adding additional points/data to a series of inputs, essentially smoothing things out. Video interpolation is when frames are blended together to add the illusion of additional data.

interpulate 

A misuse of the word "interpret" with no literary basis. Commonly used by someone trying to sound smarter than they are, along with other words such as "dramastically".....
Billy would be the best one to interpulate these drawings. Our quote could change dramastically based on his interpulation, and make it hard to get our finger in the door. Hindsight is 50/50.

interpolation 

n. The way that a good majority of mainstream hip-hop songs get their melodies. Technically, it's a form of sampling; an interpolation is basically borrowing (or stealing) the melody of another song and recording it as your own. In theory, it's supposed to be done legally, although there have been cases of artists reusing melodies without permission, which have led to lawsuits.
Girl Singing "Changes": "That's just the way it is! Things'll never be the same!" That's my favorite 2pac song!
Music Snob: 2pac didn't write that! Bruce Hornsby did! It's an "interpolation"!
