This study made use of four cubic spline interpolation methods with four different conditions to approximate six different test functions coming from different families of functions. The primary goal of the study was to investigate and determine which of the endpoint constraints works best for the six functions. The numerical experiment showed that natural, periodic and not-a-knot boundary conditions were the best interpolants for most of the test functions. However, no definite boundary condition could give a uniformly best result.
