what are some good courses on number thery?
should I even go for video lectures or books?
I never entered undergrad school and I'm planning to start self learner math, but I don't know much about it and I'm starting by entery number theory. pic related is harvard's 2500$ course banner on that.

It's pointless to learn number theory if you don't already know basic calculus, linear algebra and basic set theory

I know basic calculus and some linear algebra already.
about set theory, however, I don't know much.

You can find most books on library genesis (see the sticky). If you're unsure what to read, it helps to look at the syllabus of courses at colleges that roughly correspond to what you want to learn (say on MIT OCW). Most chart/recs of math books kinda suck cause they either overemphasize prerequisites or are just totally disjoint and nonsensical.

It's technically possible to start learning number theory without any other background in mathematics, but you'd want to learn more from other fields rather quickly.

Good luck! Don't be afraid to come back, maybe to /sqt/, if you've got questions.

thanks alot for your help.
I'll check them.
I read the math book guide on the sticky and it was just too many books to figure out wich was which.
thanks again.

I just remembered this book : https://bookstore.ams.org/mbk-105

I flipped through it a while ago, and it might be a good fit for you. The bad news is that I haven't been able to find an online/pirated version.
