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.

See extra metafun text i sent you -)
concerning literature, maybe the postscript ref manual, but i don't have it
here now
