You know, I see that Cem Yuksel is one of the authors, and he is one of those names that keeps popping up in the weirdest places whenever I look up something random that involves graphics and the maths behind it (especially when splines are involved). Is he like one of those "experts know he's a big deal in his niche but non-experts never heard about him" kind of guys?
EDIT: I remember now that the first time I came across his work was over 15 years ago when I was trying to interpolate between two vector shapes, and always had to deal with twists between them. I ended up reading a paper by him showing the fix for Catmull-Rom splines[0]. Ever since I've sounded like mad-man for complaining that 3b1b should have used "centripetal parameterization" for manim, haha, because it also often has these twists when interpolating.
