Pierre Bézier (mathematician)

Pierre Bézier was a French engineer and mathematician known for developing Bézier curves, a mathematical concept used in computer graphics, animation, and design. These curves allow for smooth and flexible shapes, making them essential in various fields, from automotive design to computer-aided design (CAD) software. Bézier's work revolutionized how designers create and manipulate curves and surfaces, enabling precise control over complex shapes. His contributions have had a lasting impact, facilitating advancements in technology and art by providing the tools needed for detailed and aesthetically pleasing designs.
