👉 Splines, also known as spline curves, are a family of continuous functions that can be used to approximate the shape of a curve. They were originally developed for numerical integration in engineering and physics, but have since been applied in various fields such as computer graphics, robotics, and machine learning. Splines come in different types based on their degree of smoothness: they are called linear splines (LS), quadratic splines (Q-SPLINES), cubic spline curves, etc. Each type
