Also… If his taking Honors Complex analysis at 16 years old… How’s that even possible? You would need a bunch of prerequisites… Or take like a placement test… Like for me I’m taking Real analysis right now as 16 1/2 yrs old but it’s not as prestigeous as MIT/Harvard



Technically, the only prereq necessary is real analysis (well you don’t even need that). Honors Complex Analysis (aka undergraduate) often uses Alfhors, which isn’t too bad of a read. You’re probably thinking of graduate-level complex analysis, which indeed does require lots of topology/geometry/algebra.

Just sayin’
