Hi I hope this question is not too soft

I am curious about the work of Abel.

I have found his work in this link http://www.abelprize.no/nedlastning/litteratur/houzel_the_work.pdf

Currently I have some proof based knowledge from highschool calculus, vector, differential equations etc. and some knowledge about sets and de morgan laws.

Which kind of prequisite do I need to have in order to understand Abel's work (look in the link)

    You gotta love Norwegian as a language: "nedlastning" for "download" in that link, it's great (it is a very literal translation)! On a more serious note, I think this is fairly high level stuff, for which you will definitely need some analysis (real and complex). But good idea to look at a body of work in this way, best of luck! – Bobson Dugnutt Mar 12 '17 at 14:01
  • Thanks. Ive been trying to go through abbotts understanding analysis, but I find it quite difficult for self study. Do you think spivak would be a more gentle start? (I will probably start as an undergraduate in august in math) –  Mar 12 '17 at 16:00
  • See this answer. Also for an intuitive/visual approach to complex analysis, consider Visual Complex Analysis by Tristan Needham. – Bobson Dugnutt Mar 12 '17 at 17:07
