[1] In many cases, the standard document itself describes computing the
waveform more precisely, see:

http://sound.media.mit.edu/~eds/mpeg4/SA-FDIS.pdf

[2] Looking at the source code for saolc and/or sfront provides the next
level of description, modulo possible bugs in both implementations.

[3] To go beyond defining the formulas to understand where the come from,
you'll want to consult the computer music literature, which will be
dependent on the particular opcode or wavetable -- here's a good
jumping off point on the web for online and book references:
