Definition
A Bezier curve B (of degree n) can be written in Bernstein form as follows
- ,
where b is a Bernstein basis polynomial
- .
The curve at point t0 can be evaluated with the recurrence relation
Then, the evaluation of at point can be evaluated in steps of the algorithm. The result is given by :
Moreover, the Bézier curve can be split at point into two curves with respective control points :

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Mothers often are too easily intimidated by their children’s negative reactions...When the child cries or is unhappy, the mother reads this as meaning that she is a failure. This is why it is so important for a mother to know...that the process of growing up involves by definition things that her child is not going to like. Her job is not to create a bed of roses, but to help him learn how to pick his way through the thorns.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“... we all know the wag’s definition of a philanthropist: a man whose charity increases directly as the square of the distance.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
