Books by Helmuth Spath

This book presents a practical introduction to computing spline functions, the fundamental tools for fitting curves and surfaces in computer-aided design (CAD) and computer graphics. It provides detailed derivations of the formulas needed for a computer implementation of the interpolation methods.

This book provides an elementary and directly applicable introduction to the computation of the spline functions, which are determined by the requirement of smooth and shape-preserving interpolation and the smoothing of measured or collected data.
