Hi, I want to know what are the basics of mathematics that I should know in depth to have a good level to start programming games of better quality. Which books could you recommend me?

If you saved some of your High School Math books and Science books, you can use them. If not http://www.textbooksfree.org/Free HS Textbooks.htm

If Math wasn't your thing in school or you just hate the format of textbooks you can try https://www.khanacademy.org/.

For direct answers to the questions: : "What is a Vector" and "What is Sin Cos and Tan" I recommend https://www.mathsisfun.com/ . Unlike text books and Khan academy this site gets strait to the point.

Don't be put off by how Math Is Fun looks, there Grade 12 course is fantastic and has helped lots of developers.
