Hi /sci/. About 2 years ago I bought this book. I picked it up once and realised I lack the mathematical knowledge in order to get through it. Does anyone have any idea what sort of 'prerequisite knowledge' I'll need before I can get through this? Thanks,

If you have done college algebra you know enough to start reading this book. It never gets more difficult than addition, subtraction, multiplication, and polynomials. He explains everything step by step. If you aren't used to proving things, or thinking rigorously about math problems it will be conceptually difficult, but you wont be lacking the technical skills.
