So in section 3.5 one of the homework problems wants you to fit a
clamped cubic spline to three sets of data that look like the outline of
a dog. The word of caution is that the graph that they show of points
does not match up with the data in the tables for Curves 1-3. For
example, if you look at curve 2 there is a point at (20,7). On the plot
above data table the line is above 7 at x=20. Since this is a node
point the cubic spline MUST pass through that point. Use the graph to
help you ensure that your spline looks right, but don't expect your plot
to match it exactly.
