All,

Are these Bezier curves that are used by Metapost and described in Hans'
Metafun manual? The thingies with the control points, etc?

If so, is their a nice paper on the net describing the mathematics of these
curves and their application? Maybe something involving linear algebra?
Something on a level that an introductory linear algebra student could
understand? Looks like a good term project for a student.

Links welcome.

Thanks.
