Carl G. H. de Boor

Carl G. H. de Boor was a mathematician renowned for his work in numerical analysis, particularly in developing algorithms for creating smooth curves and surfaces using polynomial approximations. His contributions, especially in the theory of B-splines, are fundamental in computer graphics, data fitting, and engineering design, allowing precise and efficient representations of complex shapes. De Boor’s work has greatly advanced computational methods, making it easier to model, analyze, and visualize real-world objects digitally. His research has had a lasting impact on applied mathematics, computer-aided design, and scientific computing.
