9] What are N.U.R.B.S?

Non-uniform rational b-spline (NURBS). It's a special type of spline that allows more intuitive control over surface modelling than a lot of other spline methods. Surfaces have control points that are used to deform the surface of the object which is represented by mathematical formulas rather than polygons.
