In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis a cubic Hermite spline (also called cspline), named after Charles Hermite, is a third-degree spline with each polynomial of the spline in Hermite form. The Hermite form consists of two control points and two control tangents for each polynomial.
For interpolation on a grid with points for, interpolation is performed on one subinterval at a time (given that tangent values are predetermined). The subinterval is normalized to via .

Famous quotes containing the word cubic:
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
