Translate courbe de Bézier from French to English

– A curve that is calculated mathematically to connect separate points into smooth, free-form curves and surfaces of the type needed for illustration programs and CAD models. Bezier curves need only a few control points to define a large number of shapes--hence their usefulness over other mathematical methods for approximating a given shape. ¹

– A spline defined by four points: a start point, two control points that influence the curves, and an endpoint. ¹
