Implicit Functions vs Parametric Curves
Developers should learn implicit functions when working on applications involving mathematical modeling, such as computer-aided design (CAD), game physics, or scientific simulations, where relationships between variables are defined implicitly by equations meets developers should learn parametric curves when working on applications involving 2d/3d graphics, animation, game development, or motion planning, as they enable smooth interpolation, bezier/spline-based designs, and trajectory generation. Here's our take.
