Editorial Reviews

Splines are the fundamental tools for fitting curves and surfaces in computer aided design and computer graphics. Spath introduces the computation of one-dimensional spline functions using explicit and easily evaluated forms of the spline interpolants, outlines the conditions under which one-dimensional splines can be best applied, and supports his concepts with a plethora of formulas and algorithms. FORTRAN-77 subroutines are also included to address the problems described. A program disk is available to supplement this and the sister volume treating two-dimensions. Translated from the 1989 German edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
