SUMMARY

The discussion centers on enhancing calculus skills with a focus on the Riemann zeta function. Participants recommend starting with Tom Apostle's "Calculus I" to solidify foundational knowledge. The suggested progression for further study includes Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, and then Analytic Number Theory, with a strong emphasis on multivariable calculus for understanding complex variables. Additionally, "An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers" by Hardy and Wright is recommended for those interested in analytic number theory.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic calculus concepts
  • Familiarity with multivariable calculus
  • Knowledge of Real Analysis principles
  • Basic understanding of Complex Analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Study "Calculus I" by Tom Apostle to strengthen calculus skills
  • Research Real Analysis techniques and concepts
  • Explore "Complex Analysis" by Lars Ahlfors for advanced understanding
  • Read "An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers" by Hardy and Wright for insights into analytic number theory
USEFUL FOR

High school students, aspiring mathematicians, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of calculus and number theory, particularly in relation to the Riemann zeta function.

i am interested in Riemann zeta function. i am in a high school.
i have good hold over calculus(at least what's required for physics).
Would Tom Apostle's Calculus I be good to further improve my skills.

What should i do next?
Real Analysis or Complex Analysis or directly analytic number theory?

Are L Ahlfors' complex analysis and Analytic Number Theory by Tom Apostle good at my level?

By the way, has Riemann hypothesis been proved?
have a look at http://www.coolissues.com/mathematics/Zeta/zeta.htm.

There are several pages by same author, on several unsolved problems,here:

Real analysis first, then complex analysis, then basic number theory, then analytic number theory. And a strong grounding in multivariable calculus will help a lot with complex variables, so don't skip that.

If you're interested in analytic number theory, there's a book you can start reading right now and grow into as you learn more. Hardy and Wright. It's a classic.

Hi sparsh12, I wish you all the best in your mathematical endeavors.

Just want to mention that the links you included are by a mathematical crank. There are lots of them out there, doing their own "research", and producing results, that if true, would cause well establish facts to be wrong. James Constant is a quite sophisticated crank, he knows a fair amount of math, he can write coherently, but his conclusions are just wrong. When a crank gets a result that contradicts hundreds of years of work by the best minds on the planet, they do not pause and ponder "where did I go wrong?", instead they have an urge to inform us all about their discoveries. I Just remembered that cranky stuff isn't allowed here in the forum, so I should stop.
 
There is a lot of valid info on the net as well as invalid info.

Keep learning and reading. So far no proof of RH that I know of exists.
