    The authors present algorithms to approximate higher order algebraic curves by piecewise rational curves which then can be parametrized (cf. \textit{Camille Jordan}, Cours d'Analyze, 2nd ed., Gauthier-Villars Paris 1893, Vol. 1, Section 607-612). For nonsingular curves the procedure admits a manageable form of error control. For singularities, they propose resolution by quadratic transformations. The practical implementation of a computer analysis of higher singularities is not attempted.
