Curves provide the mathematical foundation for animation.

Within Yoyo, we restrict curves to those with a closed-form approximation / analytical solution and similarly, a closed-form derivative that we can use to compute velocity. Typically, especially for springs, animation frameworks use numerical integrations, like RK4. We want closed-form solutions because they let us pause and resume animations at arbitrary time steps.
