Geometry and Interpolation of Curves and Surfaces. Robin J.Y. McLeod and M. Louisa Baart. Cambridge University Press, 40 W. 20th St., New York, NY 10011-4211. 1998. 414 pp. ISBN 0-52132153-0. $80.

Because of the usefulness for computing of the algebraic approach, this is the main theme here. but a brief discussion of the synthetic approach is also presented. The authors start with simple interpolation, including splines, and extend this to the ...
