where B i<br />

p and Bj<br />

q are the Bernstein basis functions of degree p and q, respectively,<br />

as described in the entry of BezierCurve. This surface description is called<br />

rectangular because the parameter domain is rectangular, that is, the two parameters<br />

s and t can vary freely in given intervals.<br />
