Chapter 12. Bernstein Polynomials

This page contains links to all resources mentioned in Chapter 12 of the textbook.  In addition to the resources listed below, some resources from Chapter 11 remain relevant.

Interactive quadratic Bézier curve page

On the Chapter 11 page, I included a link to a page where you could play with cubic Bézier curves. Now that Chapter 12 has introduced the whole family of Bézier curves of different degrees, you may also be interested in the corresponding quadratic page.

The de Casteljau Algorithm Applet

The de Casteljau algorithm is the iterative construction of higher-degree Bézier curves from compositions of linear interpolations.  An interactive animation of that algorithm is available here.
