Say you have AK, then there's 2x3 ways of flopping tptk or better, with 49x48 other hand combos possible in the other 2 cards. It's easier because you don't care about order the cards appear, just the 'sets' which meet your criteria out of the total probabilites.
I really think that book I mentioned, has the stuff in it, at the level you're trying to work out, and it's not an expensive one...

I see. I'm going to look over some open, online college courses on combinatorics, which will help.
Unfortunately the book you recommend has some pretty terrible reviews:

I'd have to look through it myself before buying, as I know I can simply get the math information online.
