A Computational Method with Maple for Finding the Maximum Curvature of a Bézier-Spline Curve

In this paper, we propose two Maple procedures and some related utilities to determine the maximum curvature of a cubic Bézier-spline curve that interpolates an ordered set of points in <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline">...
