Designing filters takes advanced math, but using and understanding them doesn't.

Your best bet will be to find a mentor who can explain it to you. One-on-one, this will take a good 30-45 minutes provided a 10th grade math background. One-to-many takes a lot longer.

You should also install LabVIEW and play with the filters. Looking at input to output visually while tweaking parameters is remarkably helpful. I usually give my students a half hour of playing with that palette, and it really helps solidify my droning at the white board.
