Editorial Reviews

An introduction to computing two dimensional spline functions for fitting curves and surfaces in computer-aided design. Outlines conditions under which two-dimensional splines can be best applied, and integrates formulas and algorithms to emphasize concepts in spline interpolation on rectangular grids and for arbitrarily distributed points; bilinear, biquadratic, and bicubic spline interpolation; and triangulations. Includes Fortran 77 subroutines which can be applied to the problems in the book. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
