The Midpoint Hierarchy and Dynamics on a de Casteljau Bezier Polygon - Algebraic Calculus and dCB Curves 10

Explore the midpoint hierarchy and dynamics of de Casteljau Bezier curves in this 37-minute video lecture. Delve into the significance of t=1/2 for de Casteljau Bezier curves and examine the hierarchy of secondary points used to construct the locus at this value, using a quartic (degree four) curve as an example. Discover the concept of discrete particle motion on de Casteljau Bezier control points, including velocity, acceleration, jerk, and snap - higher analogs of differences/derivatives for a discrete trajectory. Gain insights into advanced mathematical concepts while focusing on concrete calculations and computational reality.
