General B-Splines
•Generalize from cubic to arbitrary order
•Generalize to different basis functions
•Read: [Angel, Ch 10.8]
•Knot sequence umin = u0 · ... · un = umax 
•Repeated points have higher “gravity”
•Multiplicity 4 means point must be interpolated
•{0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, ..., n-1, n, n, n, n} solves boundary problem
