Title: Curve Designer

Book Description: You may use this WorkBook to design your own curves. Click on between 2 and 15 points on the screen and the Bezier spline approximating those points is drawn for you. Also, you receive the function definition of that spline as a parametric curve.

You may use this formula to define a curve in Mathwright, or in any other program, and since it is a mathematical object, you may transform it, differentiate it, compose it with other functions, and so on. This is based on an earlier WorkBook called Parametric Curves by Mike Pepe.

Suggested Use: Create polynomial curves
