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.
A. A National Forensics League division. consisting of one performance that is 10 minutes long, or a play that has been cut down to 10 minutes. That piece must be funny, varying from "not really funny at all" to "L.M.F.A.O." levels of funny.
B. The only forensics event worth watching
A. I did excerpts from the play "Greater Tuna" for Humorous Interpretation, and that audience was dying of laughter!
B. Guy: I didn't make finals, what event should I watch
Girl: Humorous Interpretation, duh!
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.
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
