Practical Guide to Splines

This book is based on the author 's experience with calculations involving polynomial splines, presenting those parts of the theory especially useful in calculations and stressing the representation of splines as weighted sums of B-splines. The B-spline theory is developed directly from the recurrence relations without recourse to divided differences. This reprint includes redrawn figures, and most formal statements are accompanied by proofs.De Boor, Carl is the author of 'Practical Guide to Splines' with ISBN 9780387989228 and ISBN 0387989226.
