Implementation of various mathematical curves that define themselves over a set of control points. The API is written in Java. The curves supported are: Bezier, B-Spline, Cardinal Spline, Catmull-Rom Spline, Lagrange, Natural Cubic Spline, and NURBS.

A representation of an n-dimensional point. The dimension of the point is the length of the
