What should I learn in order to prove the Riemann Hypothesis?

Complex Analysis
Analytic Number Theory
Category Theory (?)

Complex analysis is essential to even state the problem, so at least that much.
IIRC most of the stepping stone theorems were proved using techniques from analytic number theory.
But you can just pick up a book specifically about the Riemann Hypothesis. It should expose the main ongoing proof strategies, so you can figure out what seems most likely to work and study further from there.

I've only gotten up to calc 1 in math as well as stats and number theory. Is there any way I can study in my own and get any kind of job in math without going to college? My job might offer tuition assistance once I am a full employee. Might go back to college for math part time but if rather study on my own. My mom got me a vanity license plate of pi for Christmas and I want to cry I'm a fucking 25 year old loser. I loved math and science as a kid and gave up several weekends to go to events where you could sit in lectures given by college students about advanced math / science topics and it always amazed me. I dropped out of high school and tried to kill myself but now that I'm working full time I am realizing how I wasted the past 7 years of my life. I am probably too fucking retarded to get a math degree. I can't even figure out the Conway read aloud sequence never going above 3 proof. I know it in my head but I can't put it into words. The only "accomplishment" I have is a 740 on the maths sat.

Sorry for the blogposting. Happy New Year anons.

I'm sorry but I can't find the information anymore. Can you help me find books about elementary math, from the most simple to the most complex and difficult?

Gee, sounds like a good strategy to me!

I'm trying to learn more about harmonic analysis. I've read the first three volumes of Stein and Shakarchi, have done a semester of analytic number theory, Fourier analysis, a year of grad complex, semester of sobolev Spaces, semester of applied functional analysis. Any recommendations? I've considered volume 4 of Stein and Shakarchi, or continuing with Stein's Mammoth texts. I've also looked at Grafakos and other things but don't know where to start

>There is thus an asymmetry between a positive and negative statement in intuitionism. If a statement P is provable, then it is certainly impossible to prove that there is no proof of P. But even if it can be shown that no disproof of P is possible, we cannot conclude from this absence that there is a proof of P. Thus P is a stronger statement than not-not-P.

Similarly, to assert that A or B holds, to an intuitionist, is to claim that either A or B can be proved. In particular, the law of excluded middle, "A or not A", is not accepted as a valid principle. For example, if A is some mathematical statement that an intuitionist has not yet proved or disproved, then that intuitionist will not assert the truth of "A or not A". However, the intuitionist will accept that "A and not A" cannot be true.

What book(s) will let me understand cryptographic proofs at the level of the Hashgraph white-paper?
