Home-brewed HDR

Home-brewed HDR question: I understand the basic principles of HDR (High Dynamic Range) photographic techniques and I know there's plenty of software out there which implements it swimmingly, but I'm interested in learning how to implement it myself...
I've searched for HDR, WDR, Tone mapping but what I'm really curious about is specific mathematical techniques for merging multiple photographs taken at different exposure settings. My google-ing skills are failing me...
Does anyone have insight, links to articles, other terms I should be searching on?
Much appreciation in advance...

There is a nice tutorial on Instructables.com that shows the basic steps and explains the theory behind them; it doesn't go into the math aspects but it shows why it works, and how this process can be automated.

The paper Recovering High Dynamic Range Radiance Maps from Photographs by Debevec and Malik is widely cited in the field.
