Let $I = [ a , b ]$ where $a < b$, and let $f(x) = \exp(x)$ for all $x \in I$. For all $n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$, let $P _ { n } = \Pi _ { n } ( f )$ be the Lagrange interpolation polynomial of $f$ at $n$ distinct points $a_{1,n} < \cdots < a_{n,n}$ of $I$. Show that the sequence $\left( P _ { n } \right) _ { n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * } }$ converges uniformly towards $f$ on $I$.
