A fast O(n) heuristic for finding near-optimal oriented bounding boxes around point sets, using orthogonal linear regression to align rectangles with the natural orientation of the data.

An interactive demonstration of simple linear regression, showing how the least-squares method finds the best-fitting line through a set of data points by minimizing vertical distances.

An interactive visualization of quadratic Bézier curves, demonstrating how three control points define smooth parametric curves commonly used in computer graphics and design.
