Pierre Bézier

Pierre Bézier was a French engineer and mathematician who spent his career at Renault, focusing on computer-aided design and manufacturing. He is best known for inventing the Bézier curve, a mathematical tool that describes smooth curves and surfaces through control points. Originally applied to automobile body design, the Bézier curve was later widely adopted in computer graphics, typeface design, and vector drawing software, exerting lasting influence on the development of modern CAD technology.
