Any good online references for NURBS?

[Oats]

Need to get familiar with those pretty quickly. Only have a few pages in the text books I own, need abit more Anything online? Also, just me or are these things a bit confusing, hard to grasp at first?

www.google.com has some really great stuff

True, google does have alot of good stuff. The problem with google is finding the good stuff amongst the pile of crap I looked with google, most of the stuff is implementations and whatnots. What I am looking for is some "math textbook like" material.

I don't believe he is looking for how to use NURBS, but rather how to create them.

The trick to google is to first find one site/paper on your topic, and then use the references on that paper to find the others:

http://www.whisqu.se/per/docs/math25.htm
http://www.cs.wpi.edu/~matt/courses/cs563/talks/nurbs.html

And also, only programmers expand acronyms :

Yes, could have been a bit more explicit Thx for the links both. There was a nice paper in the first link; couldn't really see how to use base splines to represent specific curves, cleared that up rather nicely. Can you guys recommend a book? I don't want something to extensive, but I want the math to be solid. This book seems nice, but the math seem a bit "light". As anyone read it?
