 a simple linear fit.  This is the barest of mathematical primers on splines;

 Mathematically, a spline function S of order k is defined relative to a sequence of "knots", x1, x2, ..., xn. On
 every interval [xi, x_{i-1}], S is a polynomial of order at most k (it is from this that the ease and speed
-of splines arises).  At a knot, where two of the polynomials meet, they are required to agree in the first
-k-1 derivatives (ie all but the last).  A spline is specified by the locations of its knots and the coefficients
-of its polynomial in each interval.

+they are required to agree in the first k-1 derivatives (ie all but the highest).  A spline is specified by the 
+locations of its knots and, for each interval, the coefficients of polynomial that describes it.
 
 For interpolation purposes, the knots are typically chosen to be the known data points. It
 is also common for splines to include smoothing of data, so that the curve does not pass
 through all the data points but is smoother than it would be if it had to. k=3 is the most
