Demonstration of DeCasteljau's Algorithm Applet
DIRECTIONS:   In this applet, you create a polynomial curve by placing n control points pi0 that specify the curve. The curve is created by choosing a parameter t with 0 <= t <= 1 and defining the point p=p0n on the curve by the iterative algorithm pik = (1-t) pik-1 + t pi+1k for k=1,2, ..., n and i=0,1, ..., n-k.
