Are your requirements sorted by order of importance?

Quantum Computing Since Democritus might be a good choice. If I think of the first item as the goal and the others qualifications, it is a poor choice, but if I rearrange them, maybe a good choice.

I didn't originally intend them to be in order, but they actually are. The only exception is that the very low math part is very important and should go at the top.
