Nerd City
If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Frank Warner's Foundations of Differentiable Manifolds and Lie Groups. I give a clear, detailed, and careful development of the basic facts on manifold theory and Lie Groups. I include differentiable manifolds, tensors and differentiable forms. Lie groups and homogenous spaces, integration on manifolds, and in addition provide a proof of the de Rham theorem via sheaf cohomology theory, and develop the local theory of elliptic operators culminating in a proof of the Hodge theorem. Those interested in any of the diverse areas of mathematics requiring the notion of a differentiable manifold will find me extremely useful. Which Springer GTM would you be? The Springer GTM |

I took the test and I'm the same text you are! What are the odds of that?
Based on the questionaire I would say 1 in 1024. However, I happen to know there are only 235 books currently in the series, so I would say 1 in 235 based on that, but I hacked into this guys list of possible results, and I see there are only 16 titles he's created pages for, so the true odds are 1 in 16.
A Basic Course in Algebraic Topology
That's me, just your basic type of gal, basic type of book, basic, blah, mundane, banal me...boohoo.
In mathematics, MB, basic does not imply blah, banal, or boring.
Basic usually gives the rigor needed for advanced study.
Think Mrs. Robinson, for example...
Ok...I think I feel better...not sure.
I really wanted to be differential equations or calculus...no, not that, calculus is what they call build up on your teeth.
I guess basic algebra is okay.
You are David Eisenbud's Commutative Algebra with a view towards Algebraic Geometry
You are an attempt to write on commutative algebra in a way that includes the geometric ideas that played a great role in its formation; with a view, in short, towards Algebraic Geometry. You cover the material that graduate students studying Algebraic Geometry - and in particular those studying the book Algebraic Geometry by Robin Hartshorne - should know. The reader should have had one year of basic graduate algebra.
Neat.
So with this info, where am i on the scale?
yeah, what Wenig said....
so... whenya comin' back from nerd city?
Wenig -- Nerd City must be a very hot place to be. Our beloved Sylow has never returned and I never even got a postcard...did you?
