The best way to learn computer graphics programming is to first ask what you want to do with it. Most people interested in this topic have some end goal, be it just writing a game. In that case, writing raytracers and rasterizers may just be a waste of time, when the main interest isn't the interworkings of math, but to put something up the screen. For a reasonably wide range of modern tools, its absolutely not necessary to know any deep math to bring to screen what you want.
