To say this book is way over my head would be a huge understatement.

What subjects of math would I even need to create the firm foundation needed if I am coming to math with close to zero knowledge.

Can anyone recommend good beginner learning sources.

Foundation to read this book or for a specific topic?

For a book for adult learners I recommend (and am working my way through) Ivan Savov's No Bullshit Guide to Math & Physics. Here's a link to a sample from the author's site. I find it a great resource for brushing up on my math(s) to explore audio DSP.

Wow thanks for the plug!

Here is also the concept map from the book for people to see what topics are covered in it: https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_and_physic...

Since you mentioned DSP, you might want to also check out this excerpt on Fourier transformations from the No Bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/fourier_transforma...
