A lot less like math and a lot more like gibberish.  :)

The block cipher itself is defined in rfc2040 with reference c code
which can be viewed at ftp://ftp.rsa.com/pub/rc5/rfc2040.txt

A version that's aimed more at the mathmetician and less at the
programmer can be seen at ftp://ftp.rsa.com/pub/rc5/rc5-report.pdf
(Adobe Acrobat / pdf format).

Be forewarned, it's not for the faint-hearted, however.
