Step one: learn some linear algebra. That's the mathematics used by ray tracing. You don't need to learn everything, but be comfortable with matrix manipulations and arithmetic. You'll also need to create functions to handle that in your program.

Step two: make sure you understand how the above relates to modeling ray tracing.
