My blog is pretty basic at the moment, but if you follow it maybe I can change your mind in the next few months.
It really not a bad for amateur. But i guess you allready has catch up a underwater stone that you hope to solve in couple month. But really it not a stone it is aceberg. As you mentioned as you goal you need a as compact as possible world geometry representation. Obviuosly it requires to optimise geometric data density proportionally to relief surface curvature. But nother voxels no height map is not a tool that able to serve it purpose at all. Looks like you need something much robust like b-spline geodesic isolines.

So you really need to drop the arrogance of insisting that a qualification in maths is essential to being a programmer or game dev.
Degree in applicative math and CS is must have option for any programmer ever in case it using only 4 ariphmetic operations for accounting calculations. Becouse any software development require a perfect knowledge of theory of graph that needed to eliminate unnesesary dependences, theory of sets to understand a theory of relative databases and so on. And for analitics it much highly applicable than for just a programmer, becouse architectural errors is hardest to fix.

E.g. the popular physics libs used everywhere can not even handle mass rations of 1:10 well.
Popular phisic engines can not to calculate ever aproximate collision normal for complexive shaped objects, say more much adverticed of it ever not allow to specify a shift of center of masses and inertion tensor. About what realistic simulation uses its engines you ever talk?

On the other hand, in times where everybody can make a FPS just by downloading UE,
ANd who will draw a blueprint scripts? Graphical representation of code != no code. It just == other representation of same code. And of cource to implement AI UI effects and so on same background as usual required.

I can say for a fact that in the UK a degree/masters in the field of mathematics is not required.
Is you code has control a drives that require a realtime disaster-critical control or work on same hardware that do it, or has it been involved into disaster-critical personel interaction? Or it just has passively collect a reports from FA system by networking and make a accounting? First is regulated. But second is not eparhy of FA departament at all here, it part of factory information system so developed/mantained by IT departament that have much weakly regulations that for most companies come from company policy (that usually prefer a educated programers at first, and educaded engineers of other fields as second), not from government. I gues same wordwide.

I also agree with the others... it seems you are trolling this forum.
Just i very good seen by my own eyes backface of communism. It backface has come nott from KGB and so on. It begun from "scientific proven" tesises of Grandfather Lenin that engineers and scientists is a "remands of burgeous pasts" and "every cook can drive the state". And we know results exactly. Nowadays something like it become a very popular into IT industry.
