another method of defining a curve with 3 points. unlike bezier curves, this curve intersects all 3 points given 3 points (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) we can find the parabola by substituting it into the standard quadratic form and solving for (a,b,c) this is pretty handy and is more useful than quadratic bezier curves, its fast, but its not as useful as a general n-degree bezier curve you can easily convert this to 3D 100% me yes and the math too
