Quintic Hermite Curve Applet
DIRECTIONS: In this applet, you create a curve that is
piecewise quintic polynomial. You need to specify six points for the first quintic
curve, and then three for each additional arc. The points are labelled
pi where i=0,1,...,3n+2 and n is the
number of arcs given. The curve is specified according to the following scheme:
the point p3k specifies the point on the curve when t=k,
the point p3k+1 specifices the derivative of the curve at
p3k by specifying the vector
p3k+1 - p3k, and
the point p3k+2 specifies the second derivative of
the curve at p3k as p3k+2 -
p3k.
