ally Continuous Cubic Bézier Curves” by Hans-Peter Seidel describes the mathe-
matics used to smoothly join two cubic Bézier curves.

Foley, J. D. et al., Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice, Addison-Wesley,
Reading, MA, 1996. (First edition was Foley, J. D. and van Dam, A., Fundamentals
of Interactive Computer Graphics, Addison-Wesley, Reading, MA, 1982.) Covers
many graphics-related topics, including a thorough treatment of the mathematics
of Bézier cubics and Gouraud shadings.

Glassner, A. S. (ed.), Graphics Gems, Academic Press, 1993. The section “An Al-
gorithm for Automatically Fitting Digitized Curves” by Philip J. Schneider de-
scribes an algorithm for determining the set of Bézier curves approximating an
arbitrary set of user-provided points. Appendix 2 contains an implementation of
the algorithm, written in the C programming language. Other sections relevant to
the mathematics of Bézier curves include “Solving the Nearest-Point-On-Curve
Problem” and “A Bézier Curve-Based Root-Finder,” both by Philip J. Schneider,
and “Some Properties of Bézier Curves” by Ronald Goldman. The source code
appearing in the appendix is available via anonymous FTP, as described in the
preface to Graphics Gems III (edited by D. Kirk; see its entry below).
