For anyone with enough formal mathematics background to follow the argument, Lyle Ramshaw’s monograph, On multiplying points: the paired algebras of forms and sites, supplies the clearest formalism for understanding and working with Bézier curves and various CAGD surface primitives. http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/Compaq-DEC/SRC-RR-169.html (Note: ~150 page math book, takes some work to follow.)
Also check out the pomax bezier curve primer, which is filled with interactive diagrams and nice explanations of algorithms for doing anything you might like with Bézier curves, http://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/ (previous discussions, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11402656 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8804691)
