Hey Sci whats up! I am a High school senior and I have taken AP Cal & Ap Phys C mechanics last year and I wanted to get into string theory/M Theory. What "road map" should I take in order to learn the prerequisites for having a good understanding of the String/Super String/M-Theory model. Specifically the goal is to understand the Calabi-Yau model at a mathematical level. (Basically being able to apply it and understand research on it i.g. http://www.seminariomatematico.unito.it/rendiconti/73-12/9.pdf.

Go to college, major in math and physics. You need everything in both of those degrees at least. You are nowhere near ready to even begin approaching that stuff.

Would it be possible to do it on the side? I am going to do one of the stem pathway programs so I will be focused on obtaining a bs in engineering and a masters in business. The only feasible way I can see myself learning this is learning concurrent to my other studies.

Thank you for your input.
Translate this, it's meant to be the math curriculum for people wanting to research string theory
