Most of the docs are some simple linear algebra. They spell out the equations in the end for those who can't completely understand them.

I highly recommend this to anyone starting to make a 3d engine who doesn't know where to start (start with the math, not the polygon fillers, believe me! the fillers are trivial in comparison). See the bibliography for where to go next.

For extra frustration, I unzipped the file which had a self extracting .exe in it, which gave me 4 zips which when each extracted with the -d option finally gives me the SDK.
