3-D Modelling
Normals
The typical way to render a polygon is with a single side. The 'normal' is the side that is able to be seen.
Primitives
Primitives are basic, building-block shapes. For example spheres, cubes, planes, toruses, pyraminds... I guess they're usually generated procedurally.
Audio
DAW
DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation; a program for recording and manipulation audio.

Procedural Generation
Procedural generation describes content that it generated by a program (algorithmically) rather than being made specifically. A common use it to provide random and effectively infinte level layouts, but it can also be used for sound, textures, terrain, and much more.
