But I don’t know any graph theory! 7 Jun 2010 If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Bela Bollobas’s Modern Graph Theory. I am an in-depth account of graph theory, written with the student in mind; I reflect the current state of the subject and emphasize connections with other branches of pure mathematics. Recognizing that graph theory is one of several courses competing for the attention of a student, I contain extensive descriptive passages designed to convey the flavor of the subject and to arouse interest. Which Springer GTM would you be? The Springer GTM Test A clever way to sell your textbooks… Humor

My result: You are Saunders Mac Lane’s Categories for the Working Mathematician. You provide an array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields. Starting from foundations, you illuminate the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality. You then turn to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representation of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits. I’m sure that means something. I just don’t know what it is.
It means you like generalized abstract nonsense. Also pictures of arrows pointing at letters. I got Categories too.
Thanks for letting us know about it, I am mostly visit the blogs related to scientific researches & developments.
Algebraic Geometry for me, apparently. This joke is way too “in” for me to grok. (But I got a whole chapter in my Masters dissertation out of pretending to know Graph Theory.)
