I want better explanations of the maths.

If RSA and DSA algorithms based on standard arithmetic exponentiation modulo 
the product of two large primes are "deprecated" -- that means that there have 
been or are expected to be major mathematical and algorithmic advances in 
factoring large integers. The maths are easy for those algorithms, whereas the 
ECC algorithms are based on very advanced maths which aren't being explained 
satisfactorily to the general public, with $1,000,000 USD prizes still out for 
the so-called Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the Riemann Hypothesis, 
which might be more applicable to factoring the "semi-primes" of RSA/DSA/DH 
type algorithms.
