Curves we (mostly) don't learn in high school (and applications)

The video explores various mathematical curves, including the Weierstrass function, Bezier curves, lemniscate, cycloid, and catenary curves. It discusses their properties, applications, and significance in fields like computer graphics, robotics, and physics. The video also delves into the calculus of variations, explaining how it helps find optimal curves for specific conditions, such as minimizing time or energy. Additionally, it touches on geodesics and their importance in Einstein's theory of relativity.
