Introduction to Timelike Uniform B-splineCurves in Minkowski-3 Space

Introduction to Timelike Uniform B-splineCurves in Minkowski-3 Space

The intention of this article is to study on timelike uniform B-spline curves in Minkowski-3 space. In our paper, we take the control points of uniform B-spline curves as a timelike point in Minkowski-3 space. Then we calculate some geometric elements for this new curve in Minkowski-3 space.
