Science Fiction, A Girl, Forbidden Math, Pluto Prison Planet, An Insurrection.

This is a book that I read years ago as a youngin and I can't for the life of me remember the Title or the Author, which of course is why I'm posting here.

The story starts out on Earth in a utopian like society. The main character is a good boy math genius type, who meets a girl. The girl then leads him down the path of forbidden knowledge in order to discover a forbidden math formula, that I believe allowed time travel. The girl it turns out is the daughter of a rebel leader that has been exiled to Pluto. She was sent to Earth in order to recruit the main character. In the end of the book the main character is exiled to Pluto, they then send him through time in order to bring down the 'utopia'. Instead he is sent thousands of years into the past (having had received life extending treatments). There is some reference at the end to the character becoming the wandering jew.

Any help would be appreciated, this book has been sticking in my brain for years and periodic searching hasn't led me any closer to it. So in advance thank you.

"years ago as a youngin" ... 50 years, 2 years?

More like 15 years ago, but that doesn't speak to the age of the book, it was a somewhat yellowed paperback that I stumbled across. I have no idea when it was published. It fits in with the 50-70's era of science fiction.
