In Numerical Analysis, a [i]spline[/i] S(x) of degree m is a function defined on an interval I = [a, b] which
[list]
[*]coincides with a polynomial of degree m on each subinterval (at each tabular point),
[*]has continuous derivatives through order m-1
[/list]
Here, the interpolating function S(x) is a cubic spline through n equally spaced points, and matching the slope of f(x) at the endpoints.
