UMass Boston, Undergraduate StudentIntroduction to Bezier Curves
Abstract:
Bezier curves are parametric curves developed in the early 1960's for use in CAD/CAM operations. Today Bezier curves have a wide range of applications, including graphic design and music synthesis. The speaker will give the motivations for Bezier curves through a brief history of numerical analysis and provide an overview of various applications.
On Saturday, April 21, four UMass students spoke at a regional mathematics conference at Siena College in Loudonville, NY. By popular demand, they will reprise their presentations in our seminar.
