Good luck with that.
If you love mathematics and are very interested in it then it might be possible. For example, take a person who is really interested in flags...they don't need to 'try' and remember because that isn't how the mind works - they just remember things because they are very interested in them, perhaps aided by the odd recap.
My 'thing' is that I know a lot about soccer/football and I can remember players, matches, who scored, where the game took place, what boots they wore from a decade ago (i'm only in 20's). No memorization techniques are used, the mind just 'absorbs' it because it is interested in it.

So if you are interested in the entire branch of mathematics then it shouldn't be much of a problem.
