I am probably not the right person to answer this, with a father with  
a top-of-class maths degree, two sisters with maths degrees and a BA  
and PhD in mathematics.... but in the Audio Processing Book (MIT  
Press) there is a chapter on basic maths for sound.  I am biased  
having contributed to it, but it is at least focussed.

As Michael said, one never knows enough mathematics -- so much I do  
not understand and so much forgotten.
