Time for another shameless plug for my FREE book

[Noskosteve]

Hopfullly that FREE got you in here.

After about 15 years and a two foot tall stack of draft printouts, I completed what is probably the last round of revisions of my book and want to let others know about it.

"Interpolation and Curves for Graphics"
A Study of Piecewise Polynomial Interpolation Fundamentals and Curve Reference

This is *both*
1 - A study of the fundamentals for a beginner and
2 - An advanced reference of all common piecewise interpolation types with sample curves to demonstrate the behaviors.

It also has a few things that I derived from new ways of looking at various aspects of the math.

When I wanted to learn about Piecewise Polynomial Interpolation for key-frame animation for the laser light show system I designed and built, I couldn't find a book suitable for me. After much reading and searching on the net a number of years ago, I had many notes, so I put them in order and it turned into the book I originally needed. Comments welcome via my site contact, but I probably won't be writing much in the way of additional revisions (time to ship it).

Background and downloads are here:

V-Chick,

Sorry. Comcast stopped hosting Web pages.

I'll give you TWO places to find it.

Location #1:
My ASUS free site.
The Wayback info below is in case ASUS decides to quit:

Public Access link to the book folder:
https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/a/#/s/5BD870827EE84F719164DDCD26CC89344

The book is Manuscript_Vers_8b.pdf
Appendix is Manuscript Appendix_Vers_8b.pdf

Checking things, I See I have a Vers 9b. I don't recall what was fixed in 9b. Sorry. I just uploaded it to ASUS. Start with 9b.

You should get BOTH the BOOK TYPOS.docx and Manuscript_Vers_8b CORRECTIONS.docx...I think...

The first document in the folder ". Intro for Added Docs and Biblio.docx" explains all the others. (the "CLICK HERE"'s in it won't work)

PLEASE let me know it you found anything useful. I've received a few comment over the years.

If you have questions, e-mail me and I'll do my best to answer. It'a been a while since I did all the detailed work.

Enjoy

.....
#2 Not the greatest, but it'll be there for a while:
This is on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
(this is basically everything that was ever on the internet..saved)

I'm only showing you this so you know about it.
The linked marked with ****** SHOULD go directly to the old Interpolation Page.

Wayback Machine:
Here: https://archive.org/web/

You enter the original URL you are looking for:
http://k9dci.home.comcast.net/

CLICK tick the 2015 block at the upper right, then go down and click on OCT 8.
That should get you (Wait, give it time to retrieve) MY HOME PAGE
(works for me):
https://web.archive.org/web/20151002232549/http://home.comcast.net/~k9dci/site/

CLICK on the top link for Piecewise Polynomial Interpolation should get you here:

Free Book Piecewise Polynomial Interpolation Fundamentals

Another shameless plug for my free book - details and internet Archive links to it below.
Comcast killed my site. I moved the files to my ASUS storage site.

This is a link to the public folder containing the book, appendix and supplementary material:

https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/s/A6752C762D934C30884DC71B0E00960E4

I have received a dozen or so thanks for this work and wish to make it available for others in the future. It can still be found on the Internet Archive (WayBack Machine). The Internet Archive is saving web pages. BELOW I have Archive links for my site.

I'll send it to anyone upon request in the future. I can be emailed at noskosteve (at) either yahoo, or gmail (dot) com .

What is this Book ??

NEW DOCUMENTS have been ADDED that I did not add to the book and probably never will:
- Approximating the SINE function with a method based on the Coons quintic function.
- Maxim Shemanarev's algo for drawing a curve through a series of points using cubic Bezier.
- Dylan Miller's approximation of an arbitrary circular arc with a cubic Bezier segment.
