Algorithm 211: Hermite interpolation

The Techniques Department is interested in publishing short descriptions of Techniques which improve the logistics of information processing.To quote from the policy statement, Communications of the A C M 1 (Jan.1958), 5: "It is preferable that techniques contributed be factual and in successful usage, rather than speculative or theoretical.One of the major criteria for acceptance and the question one should answer before submitting any material is--Can the reader use this tomorrow?"Clear, concise statements of fairly wellknown but rarely documented methods will contribute significantly to raising the general level of professional competence.--C.L.McC.
