DIRECTIONS:   In this applet, you place points and the applet then constructs a Bezier curve that passes near these points by using least squares to find the control points of a Bezier curve assuming uniform spacing for the parameter values. The applet starts with a cubic curve, which you can alter by changing the order of the curve. Recall: uniform spacing means that given n+1 points {p₀, p₁, ..., p_n}, the parameter value for p_i is then t=i/n. You can alter the parameter t value by using the parameter slider or entering the parameter value.
