<p>This page uses interactive examples, relying heavily on <a href="http://pomax.github.io/bezierjs/">Bezier.js</a>,

as well as "real" maths (in LaTeX form) which is typeset using the most excellent <a href="http://MathJax.org">MathJax</a> library.

The page is generated offline as a React application, using Webpack, which has made adding

"view source" options considerably more challenging. I'm still trying to figure out how to

add them back in, but it didn't feel like it should hold up deploying this update compared

<h2>How complicated is the maths going to be?</h2>
|

|

<p>Most of the mathematics in this Primer are early high school maths. If you understand basic
|
||||
arithmetic, and you know how to read English, you should be able to get by just fine. There
|
||||
will at times be <em>far</em> more complicated maths, but if you don't feel like digesting
|
||||
them, you can safely skip over them by either skipping over the "detail boxes" in section
|
||||
or by just jumping to the end of a section with maths that looks too involving. The end of
|
||||
sections typically simply list the conclusions so you can just work with those values directly.</p>

years, from a small primer to a 70ish print-page-equivalent reader on the subject of Bézier

curves, and a lot of coffee went into the making of it. I don't regret a minute I spent

on writing it, but I can always do with some more coffee to keep on writing!</p>
