An excellent book that covers the mathematical representations of parametric
curves, surfaces, and solid plus their generation from non-parametric
objects is one entitled _Geometric Modeling_ by Michael E. Mortenson from
John Wiley & Sons (1985).  You should find everything you need in there
plus more about the analytical properties of these objects, transformations,
and some information on solid modeling.
