The paper deals with the concept of polar forms in the theory of Bézier and B-spline curves. The author relates the polar forms with the methodology of triangular algorithms. This leads to the notion of symmetric triangular algorithm which is a generalization of the well- known de Boor algorithm to not necessarily increasing knots. As a result, the author obtains a simple characterization of the de Boor algorithm by a symmetry property.
