Item — HN Reader

Fun fact that I came across while researching this. Hobby's PhD work (which I probably should have cited) was reviewed by one Kevin Karplus, who is perhaps best known for his role in the Karplus-Strong algorithm for plucked string sound synthesis.

I implemented that once, if I remember right, it was a huge pain to read because the OCR messed up many of the symbols. Hobby splines look pretty nice though.

Actually https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2FBF02187690.p... is probably a better source, it's an image of the original paper.

Any relation to the computational chemist Martin Karplus?
