I've seen a few people build small ones, and all I can say is think twice about doing this in your own back yard or garage. One group set fire to a building, and another had theirs explode injuring a person. The temperatures for even a small rudimentary one are quite high, and so are the opportunities to hurt yourself. Close neighbors are not going to be happy with the fire hazard or the noise.
You want at least one fluids class-thermal fluids for example-under your belt tho all the math was basically algebra. Best book I can recommend for understanding practical problems with various engines and the math is Aircraft Propulsion. Keeps the fluids math pretty low level as it wasn't required for a class that was both for Mechies and Aeros. Could do all the math in excel. It covers a wide range of engines along with the multiple stages for turbine engines.
Then I suggest you get to reading. There's thousands of steps.
