Aug. 22nd, 2007 11:06 pmI goes to sleep soon! I does!
I got a classy looking topology textbook. I am proud of myself for finding it, because the last remaining copy ("Topology and Geometry", 557 pp., GTM hardcover) was on the bottom of a pile of copies of "Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics," (509 pp., GTM hardcover) which is more or less identical to it except for the name. (I also found a book called "Geometry and Topology".)
LOOKS LIKE IMA LEARN SOME TOPOLOGY. I am often seeing the books which they are saying "A theorem from topology states that..." orientable compact two-dimensional manifolds are homeomorphic to a sphere with some handles, or the n-th fundamental group of the n-sphere is Z (the Brouwer fixed point theorem, except in Milnor, which I have out from the library but I am lazy) or some nonsense that is hard to prove and way outside the scope of the course. I hate when this shows up because I don't know any topology, so I will learn some, ha ha.
