Description
Summary:<p>The Bézier curves, a mathematical tool used in construction of curves and surfaces, was born as concrete application within the car industry. The present paper expects to recover this example for show how some mathematical tools can be used in the university teaching. We explain how and why these arise and also its mathematical formulation with the troubles that set out. We finalize describing an experience in the classroom and we extract some conclusions respect to supposing the incorporation of a subject oriented to solve a design using Bézier curves and surfaces.</p>
