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
Administrative Off to talk religion and evolution 18 Sep 2008 Okay, so in the AM I am off to drizzly Melbourne, my old home town, to address a conference on the implications of the project of naturalising religion, especially in terms of evolution, to an audience that may, or may not be religious. So if you never hear from me… Read More
Humor The news just keeps getting better 10 Jun 2009 After learning that we can fly if we just put our minds to it, now comes news that Futurama is back! Must have something to do with Fox realising that in order to get audience, you can’t just bash the single most popular president since Grover Cleveland. Late note: I… 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.)
