Cryptography: Understanding the math behind the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange

I’m trying to really get into the math behind it. I am unsure where to start though. Is this type of math considered theoretical, based in calculus, or something different? I currently don’t see how all of the public pieces can be seen and know but yet cannot be reversed engineered to figure out k and ‘k. Is the example used in the cryptography section just a very basic version to help with understanding or does it simple boil down to that. Any tips and advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know if the content you can audit for free will be sufficient, but I remember DH being approachable in the Cybersecurity track from University of Maryland, here: https://www.coursera.org/learn/cryptography
