To learn about shaders, I've found that some reading up on the graphics pipeline. Along with https://thebookofshaders.com/ https://thebookofshaders.com/ was been very helpful on giving me a foundation for shader programming. I was also like you, solid bg in CS/Linear Algebra but intimidated by the seemingly steep learning curve of graphics. I dabbled with Unity and now I've started to play more with shader programming and understanding GPU's.
