Just my 2 cents, but I would suggest from a programmer's perspective, a method of entry might be in game programing. You can explore a bunch of really interesting mathematical properties of the Universe in isolation and visualize (and even feel) them to some extent. On my TODO list for example is to take a look at this project that maps a world to non-Euclidean space [1]. Writing these "simulations" and exploiting their nature to make interesting interactions is just unbelievably awesome. P.S. Another interesting one (by the same person) is "MarbleMarcher" [2].
