What kind of collision detection are you trying to do? If you tell me what your attempting, I might be able to give you a good idea of what to do.

i don’t have any particular recommendation but normally try your normal math books then look under Point/Line, Line/Line, Line/Plane, Plane/Plane Intersection
i bought mathematics for 3d computer graphics and realtime rendering, these books are covering the topic you are looking for.
maybe you stop at their website www.realtimerendering.com
or you try www.gamedev.net www.gametutorials.com
that are some web-resources i can recommend
