 This paper introduces a Mathematica package for learning and teaching computer-aided geometric design (CAGD). The package incorporates commands for the treatment of the most usual curves and surfaces in CAGD (Bézier, B-spline, rationals, etc.). The powerful symbolic and graphical Mathematica capabilities, the functional and pattern recgnition programming, and the Mathematica visualization environment have been extensively applied to get a user-friendly, didactic, and powerful tool for education, with applications in such areas as CAGD and computer graphics. Some illustrative examples shwing the performance of the package are also given.
