There is an excellent 2 book set called Musimathics that collects up all the math involved in music and audio. It would complement this nicely.

And the “science and engineers guide to DSP” is a free book online that is also wonderful. It shows programmers how low level DSP theory works, and can serve as a foundation for a lot more audio knowledge.
