I couldn't get these lines from my book. I will reproduce it here.
Warning: In step 1, if you use computer to fit a polynomial to the data , it could lead to disaster. For example, consider fitting a sixth degree polynomial to the seven data points, or, an (n-1) degree polynomial to n points.
Could you please explain it to me?
Thanks a lot!
