  abstract =     "This paper describes a tool for teaching curve design.
                 This tool is a component of the software tools to be
                 used in a computing with geometry course [3, 4] that is
                 being developed under the support of National Science
                 Foundation. Curve design is important in computer
                 graphics, animation, and computer aided design.
                 Unfortunately, curve design requires very involved
                 mathematics even though many curve design concepts are
                 intuitive. As a result, it has been a challenging job
                 for instructors teaching curves and surfaces in
                 computer graphics, computer aided design, and other
                 related courses. During past years, there have not been
                 very many efforts dedicated to curve design tool
                 development. Yen [7] produced a well-received video
                 program explaining important concepts of B-spline
                 curves and surfaces and Rockwood and Chambers [6]
                 published a multimedia tutorial on computer aided
                 geometric design. The former only provides a one-way
                 communication, while the latter restricts users to a
                 predefined environment with very limited interaction
                 for users to carry out experiments. To fill this gap,
                 our tool provides students with a fully interactive
                 environment in which they are free to design, modify,
                 and manipulate curved objects and perform experiments
                 without constraints. In the following, Section 2
                 presents design issues, Section 3 discusses general
                 features, Section 4 enumerates basic elements, Section
                 5 covers advanced topics, and Section 6 is our
                 conclusion. Interested readers should consult [1, 2, 5]
                 for mathematical background details.",
