You can get started on the compiler/interpreter specific learning as long as you already know a programming language and basic data structures. You do not need any math skills.
1) Lexical Analysis (Tokeniser)
The first step of your compiler takes in free form text and turns it into a set of tokens that make the rest of the process much easier. To understand this you should learn about Regular Expressions and Finite State Machines.
2) Syntax Analysis (Parsing)
Processing the above tokens and ensuring the input has the valid syntax of a program is your next step. You need to learn about Context Free Grammers, Backus Naur Form and Abstract Syntax Trees.
3) Semantic Analysis
Just because the input has valid syntax does not mean it makes actual sense. Here you need to learn about Symbol Tables and Type Checking. The specifics are very dependant on the actual language you are dealing with.
4) Code Generation
A compiler will be generating code but an interpreter will perform actual execution of the Abstract Syntax Tree operations. Again, the specifics are very dependant on the actual language you are dealing with and the target. Start by looking into Code Generation, Code Optimizations and Assembly Code.
I recommend an online, free course, like the following from Stanford that is self-paced and results in a compiler that generates assembly level instructions for test running in an emulator.
Microsoft must be minting money from their subscription and Azure services. We replaced three servers with Office 365 online and Azure virtual machines and Azure AD. It has several advantages but cost is not one. Anyone that says moving to the cloud saves you money is likely wrong.
