Maveric, you and I just do not see eye to eye on hyperlinks. I went to a lot of trouble to find and make those links to the French schools just so that if someone WANTED to write articles about them, they would have source to turn to. I have been writing for Wikipedia since the beginning and am a member of Nupedia and I feel my methods are mainstream and constructive. Caltrop

They are still in the old version -- they're not lost. How about we compromise & put them here? I'm about to start a stub on the Arts & metiers (but what is its relation to the Musee of the same name?) -- Tarquin 17:48 Dec 28, 2002 (UTC)

I agree Tarquin. Will try to find relation to Musee. N.B. that Ecole has branches in Paris, Aix, Angers, Chalons-sur-Marne, Cluny and Lille. Caltrop 18:06 Dec 28, 2002 (UTC)

The musée is at the CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers), not ENSAM (École..). David.Monniaux 12:21, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not the creator

Bezier was not the creator of the curves that we now call "Bezier curves". Even the Wikipedia article on Bezier curves credits someone else with the development of these curves (namely, Paul de Casteljau). Bill Casselman, author of "Mathematical Illustrations: A manual of geometry and Postscript", also credits Sergei Bernstein for the initial development of "interpolating polynomials [which] depend on certain control points" - see http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/gfx/bezier.html --Cosmin Deciu 19:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The two discoveries seem autonomous. According fr:Algorithme de De Casteljau, Paul de Casteljau works remained a trade secret of his company (Citroën, a direct competitor of Pierre Bézier's employer) until 1975.212.234.223.217 (talk)
