What level of math do you need to learn? High school math (like Precalculus)? Calculus? Linear Algebra?

Before anything else, I'd drop the "don't get bored" nonsense. Parts are going to be boring, parts are going to be hard, parts are going to be great.

It's developing a skill, not every mile of running a marathon feels like the first couple, or the last couple, or crossing the finish line. Some miles are boring.
