I'm interested... what level of mathematics do you need to know to fully understand this text?

Just browsing through I'd say an introductory course in linear algebra and one in discrete mathematics should be enough. I'm not an expert on mathematics or APL so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Or you can learn math using J [1]:

  * Exploring Math
  * Math for the Layman
  * Arithmetic
  * Calculus
