As a flight instructor, I refer to the AIM frequently. It is a good reference. The Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge + the Airplane Flying Handbook are what I use to teach brand new students.

Yes, you are absolutely right ("Pilot's handbook of aeronautical knowledge", "Helicopter flying handbook", etc.).

That said, rational numbers and twelfth root of two etc. aren't exactly what musicians or composers would be thinking about, but rather scales, intervals, chords and progressions. That's the music theory the OP was arguably looking for. Those are introduced on the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory#Fundamentals_of_m...

See also FAA's pub: Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge

"The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge provides basic knowledge that is essential for pilots. This handbook
introduces pilots to the broad spectrum of knowledge that will be needed as they progress in their pilot training. Except for
the Code of Federal Regulations pertinent to civil aviation, most of the knowledge areas applicable to pilot certification are
presented. This handbook is useful to beginning pilots, as well as those pursuing more advanced pilot certificates. "
