Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

The interpolation package is used in the amss lecture as it provided numba jit compatible functions.

The np.interp function is now compatible with numba so we can update this lecture and remove a dependency.

Currently this lecture uses

from interpolation.splines import eval_linear, UCGrid, nodes

hopefully we can find alternatives in numpy as a quick short term fix.

In the medium term we will update this lecture to use jax
