Studying general relativity, since it's the flagship application of my field of mathematics (differential geometry) and yet I only know the basics. It is, of course, the most elegant scientific theory of all time.
- jmeister 7y agoI’ve been wanting to ask this a differential geometer - what do you think of Sussman and Wisdom’s book as a DE intro for an CS/applied math person? Thanks! https://www.amazon.com/Functional-Differential-Geometry-MIT-Press/dp/0262019345 https://www.amazon.com/Functional-Differential-Geometry-MIT-...
- juped 7y agoNever read it, but the preview pages look pretty neat. I might pick it up for a fun read. Might want to pair it with something like do Carmo's Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces (which is quite accessible) for the mathematical side.
- jmeister 7y agoThanks for the recommendation. And yes, the lisp book should be fun. Sussman is a legendary CS educator.
