I'm told this is the maths for a bezier curve. Can anyone confirm whether it is, or it's just gibberish?

I'll explain why I'm asking later.

Isn't that a perfect candidate for ChatGPT?

I asked MS Bing AI chat, it said yes, no idea if it's correct or just more gibberish. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error when I try to post what the AI said.

Then, when I tried cutting the AI's response into sections to see which one was triggering the error, my Win10 PC went blue screen and rebooted. Whatever Cougar's messing with there seems to have upset our AI overlords.

IDK but I did find this sort of interesting JavaScript babble https://javascript.info/bezier-curve

Write it on a board in a corridor and watch out for the janitor

Yes that looks like the maths for a linear bezier curve (i.e straight line in the top left), quadratic bezier below that on the left and cubic to the right of that. Whether it’s correct or not is lost in the mists of my past and the slightly challenging handwriting.

This might be useful; bezier splines from linear interpolations: https://github.com/hubertben/Bezier-Spline-From-Lerp#

the slightly challenging handwriting.

There is a reason for that. I shall explain presently, I promise.

Ah, I've got a fuller explanation from a friend elsewhere which correlates with and expands on what jonwe said. It is, we believe now, correct.

The reason I ask, the question was posed by a friend of mine. The author is her son. Her son is 12.

(His teachers are obsessed with his shitty handwriting.)

I was going to say, with handwriting like that, it's gotta be someone with a PHD, so it's probably correct 😉  😀
