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
Humor Adopt an atheist auction 10 Dec 201110 Dec 2011 Greg Laden is reporting that the Catholic League of America is calling for Catholics to adopt an atheist. I think this is an excellent idea! In fact, I think it should be expanded. Every religion should compete to adopt atheists. I think that I will allow whichever believer offers me… Read More

Humor The Latest from the “Discovery” Institute 25 Jul 2008 Now it’s against gravity… “Too many scientists have been afraid to speak out against the powerful gravity lobby,” said Crowther. “With Intelligent Motion, we are looking forward to imposing balance on yet another heavy-handed field of science.” Read More
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.)
