Yeah, I know the feeling.
I've got like 7-8 pages of differential equations I took as notes while trying
to figure out the Finite Element Method.

Start with something simple.

Try some heighfields, some basic grids / meshes and try some deformations and
transformations.

Try looking through this stuff and Googling "POV-Ray + ....."
Then take baby steps until whatever you're doing approaches your goal.

I find this interesting as well, but right now I'm in the middle of 2 or 3
sh*tstorms IRL, and it'll likely be about 6 months before I can resume a lot of
this.

Try some grids / checkers and apply some warps, and I think that will get you
far, fast.  Watch the videos - they're illuminating.
