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).

and found the book series:
- _Make:Geometry_ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58059196-make
- _Make:Trigonometry_ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123127774-make
- _Make:Calculus_ https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61739368-make
a helpful review and extension of my slipshod math education (remember how Feynman once critiqued some math books, esp. calling out one for using made-up associations of colors and star temperatures? guess which one the school system I attended was using...).
Next step is I need to work with conic sections and after that Bézier curves/surfaces --- could you suggest texts on those subjects?
