Whoever wants to do something serious with Bezier curves or splines 
(curves, surfaces, whatever), be sure to check out Gerald Farin's 
"Curves and Surfaces for CAGD (Computer Aided Geometry Design): A 
practical guide", Morgan Kaufmann Publishers.  It's to Bezier what Ross 
is to music engraving, I guess (though I didn't manage to get the latter 
in my hands yet).  A really amazing book, which should be available in 
every university library with an ounce of self-respect.
