It depends on what you want to do. At least you'll need to understand how coordinate system transformations work (i.e. going from one frame of reference to another), and how to use matrix multiplication with vectors to do that.
Read the Viewing chapter in the OpenGL Programming Guide and branch off from there. For a high-level skim of this material, see OpenGL Transformations (this references some legacy GL calls but the basic concepts still apply).
