Assessment

Description

Rewrite amss using JAX will also resolve #223 related to removing the outdated interpolation package.

We can use the interpolater in jax.scipy https://docs.jax.dev/en/latest/_autosummary/jax.scipy.interpolate.RegularGridInterpolator.html in JAX as suggested by @jstac.

The lecture will also benefit from autodifferentiation.
