The collocation or interpolation method; implementation

points holds the interpolation/collocation points 

def interpolation(f, psi, points):
    N = len(psi) - 1
    A = sp.zeros((N+1, N+1))
    b = sp.zeros((N+1, 1))
    x = sp.Symbol('x')
    # Turn psi and f into Python functions
    psi = [sp.lambdify([x], psi[i]) for i in range(N+1)]
    f = sp.lambdify([x], f)
    for i in range(N+1):
        for j in range(N+1):
            A[i,j] = psi[j](points[i])
        b[i,0] = f(points[i])
    c = A.LUsolve(b)
    u = 0
    for i in range(len(psi)):
        u += c[i,0]*psi[i](x)
    return u
