Where can I get a good understanding on the math/code for what is going on when mining. Also the 'backbone' for bitcoin and the alt coins. I'm really interested in what's going behind the scenes.

Been thinking of a personal learning project for making my own coin with a different 'proof of worth?'(math part).

I've looked at miners but it's all low level optimized assembly code. Although I do understand assembly, It's not my area of study.

If you understand c++ cracking open the bitcoin source isn't actually all that bad.
