Abstract
A geometric construction of a Bézier curve is presented by a unifiable way from the mentioned literature with some modification. A closed-form solution to the inverse problem in cubic Bézier-spline interpolation will be obtained. Calculations in the given examples are performed by a Maple procedure using this solution.
