Download or read book Spline ABC written by Kang Zhao and published by Kang Zhao. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is spline and why use splines? What is B-spline and why use B-splines? What is B-spline curve and what is B-spline curve of periodic knots? How to construct B-spline curves to fit points? If you need answers for these questions then this book is right for you. It takes a Show and Tell approach that guides readers to understand the mathematical basics and master the computer programming skills of splines. The B-splines are introduced by means of Marsden Identity so to avoid the recursive definitions. Many Python code snippets are presented along with their numerical and graphical outputs to show how the spline knowledge learned in this book is used in solving numerical problems.
