hey peeps

can anyone recommend me a good book/magazine article/website explaining how
to make 3D splines?

Im interested in making smooth 3D flight paths for space rockets (y'know the
sort of thing) given a bunch of 3D control points. And finding things like

*the length of the spline

*the coordinates of a 3D point on the spline given the length along it

*the tangent to the spline at any particular point

hey I know, use tables but I want to generate some tables. and i want to
generate them right. any wizard geometrists in the house?

yours
