Abstract	This study deals specifically with classical cubic splines. Based on a lemma of John Rice, best approximation in the uniform norm by cubic splines is explored. The purpose of this study is to characterize the best approximation to a given continuous function f(x) by a cubic spline with fixed knots by counting alternating extreme points of its error function E(t).
