This changed around 1960, when computers became more widespread and splines first assumed their role as the premier tool for data fitting and computer-aided geometric design. Schoenberg's more than 40 papers on splines after 1960 gave much impetus to the rapid development of the field.
Ito ay nagbago sa paligid ng 1960, kapag mga computer ay naging mas malawak at splines muna assumed kanilang papel bilang ang kauna-unahan na kasangkapan para sa data na karapat-dapat at computer-aided geometriko disenyo. Schoenberg ng higit sa 40 mga papeles sa splines matapos ang 1960 gave marami puwersa sa mabilis na pag-unlad ng patlang.
