Don't forget elegant T-Splines:

The tsPull command hasn't made it into Grasshopper yet though, an important one for matching meshes or NURBS surfaces and polysurfaces.

Hi Narsimha

I would start by work through, Essential Mathematics For Computional Design 3rd Edition 

as Alex linked you too.

Though if your interested in understanding geometry mathematically. Then I would invest in what could possibly be called the Geometry Bible.

Also maybe this, not used it much myself as yet but might be of interest to.

Hope that helps,

Matt

P.s If you update you Title to explain more what looking for, your likely to get alot more things to read.
