Abstract
Piecewise approximation functions are compared to single functions which are defined over entire sets of data. The former are presented as providing close fits to the data and as being desirable for performance of subsequent calculations. The cubic spline is described as a piecewise function with controlled curvature and good continuity conditions over a data span.
