            Abstract : 
Bézier surfaces are widely used in CAGD. There are two main types of Bézier surfaces, namely the rectangular Bézier patch and the triangular Bézier patch. The two patches have different basic functions, but they share many common properties, so the conversion of one type to the other has aroused the interest of many researches. This paper deals with this problem by use operator representation. The method here will be given a general and simple way.
