I'm taking an introductory online course on Processing and it amazes me that, even though I studied Humanities and Music, the maths I learned in school are seeming fair enough for the simple graphic shit I'm programming. Circles moving and shit, the basic stuff.
I'm wondering if, as I get deeper and deeper in this programming and code language world, it's going to get muddy in terms of math. I suspect my school math knowledge (which reaches no more than simple functions) won't be enough when programming in Java or MSP or Jitter.
My goal is to be able to execute programs that deal with audio and soundwaves in the future and I'm quite sure I'm going to get my hands on a good math reference book in order to succeed.
Would any of you generous gentlemen recommend some bibliography? It doesn't matter if it contains a lot of theory, as a music student I'm used to Music Theory, Harmony and other shit you need to get your feet in in order to come out with a proper technical execution. Thanks in advance.
