Figure 6.2: The function f(t) = 4.1 + sin (1/(0.08t + 0.5)) is shown, along with the linear spline<br />

interpolant, for the knots 0, <strong>0.1</strong>, 0.4, 0.6, 0.75, 0.9, 1.0 For some values of t, the function and its<br />

interpolant are very close, while they vary greatly in the middle of the interval.<br />
