| |  Appropriate forum for numerical analysis?
Where should questions related to this field go? (E.g. Lagrange interpolation, divided differences, etc)

Depends what type of numerical analysis, for example if you are approximating a solution to a DE using a Runge-Kutta scheme post it in Differential Equations.
Just have a think about what field of Mathematics it relates to most.

However, the advice given in post #2 should also be carefully considered.
If in doubt, post in the Advanced Applied Math subforum and report the post to a Moderator using the Report Post tool (the little triangle located top right corner of a post) requesting adjudication on which subforum is most appropriate.

Unless allied to a specific problem I would put it in "calculus" or "analysis and topology". But I know some purists would object to the latter.
