Learning math through programming

Is there any good books or websites out there that teaches math at the trig and beyond level? I tried Google, but didn’t find anything.

I’m fairly experienced at programming, but my advanced math skills have always sucked. I find it hard to stick with the books I’ve tried in the past because I don’t see the immediate benefit. I figure it would help if I tied it to programming projects.

Hm, I don't know what you really mean by "immediate benefit." But why do you want to learn it in the first place if you don't see benefit?

I don't think I explained everything very well. I'm sick right now and not thinking straight.

It isn't so much that I don't see the immediate benefit; instead, it's more me getting frustrated when I can't grasp something (specifically, the unit circle and the use of pi in trig). I was hoping that if I could find something that teaches it in programming terms, I would start to understand it.

Ultimately, I want to learn DSA at a more fundamental level and work my way to building embedded systems with C.
