Programming for Mathematical Applications
A b-spline, or basis spline, is a piecewise-defined polynomial function that is used in computational geometry for modeling curves and surfaces. It allows for the creation of complex shapes by using control points, where the curve does not necessarily pass through all points but is influenced by them. B-splines are widely used due to their flexibility, local control, and smoothness properties.
congrats on reading the definition of b-spline. now let's actually learn it.
