You're welcome!

Hopefully someone can make recommendations for books (or other references) which address the next two aspects of math I'll need, conic sections and Bézier curves/surfaces.

I have found:

- _Practical Conic Sections_ by J.W. Downs

- https://pomax.github.io/bezierinfo/

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVwxzDHniEw

and I'm reading through _METAFONT: The Program_ but if someone could provide a list of math texts which build from the Make: <foo> series (the coverage of conic sections in them was sparser than I was hoping for) I'd be glad of it. Links to helpful Github repositories would be welcome as well (for reviewing once I've digested the books).
