Cubic Hermite Curve Applet
DIRECTIONS:   In this applet, you place a sequence of points p0, p1, p2, ... and then create curve from each set of points p2i-2, p2i-1, p2i, p2i+1 a cubic curve that passes through the points p2i-2 and p2i which has the derivative at p2i-2 given by p2i-1-p2i-2 and the derivative at p2i given by p2i+1-p2i
