I think, without some abstraction (sic!) one wouldn't get far with Pd.
heh :)
It's just not a tool for ignoring certain rather abstract issues. But I don't think you're looking for such a tool anyways. So for starters I would recommend "Computer Music" by Dodge/Jerse. It doesn't skip the necessary math, but has a good way of explaining it and illustrating its use from a practical POV.
sounds perfect - amazon i presume? cc would be dope tho...
It's definitly a book every aspiring Pd user should read. I won't say the same of the "Computer Music Tutorial", which IMO often is a bit to, uhm, referential: It's very complete in its scope, but too often just directs you to a paper or another book if you want to know the real details. And it's too heavy to carry around in your bag.

A personal favourite of mine then is F.R. Moore's "Elements of Computer Music", but it doesn't fit your description. But I come back to it again and again, while my CMT is collecting dust.
ok, but i'm intrigued - i've almost always been a fan of your pd studies, and appreciate that often that's exactly what they are - illustrations of less then obvious techniques. this book inspires that to some extent?

Mechanize something idiosyncratic.
