<p><font face="serif">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.</font></p>
