A lot of contemporary mathematics have physical roots. Some things I like: Donaldson theory and Seiberg-Witten theory in differential topology, Gromov-Witten theory in sympletic/algebraic geometry. Knowing physics is not necessary to l

Great. Would love to have some support for diagrams drawing. This seem to tackle the issue that Latex equations are not very readable, which is great. A related problem is that tikz code for drawing commutative diagrams in latex is basicall

This. The author has discovered the disjoint union and the join. The article looks correct but comes off a little pretentious for describing some rather simple (and well-known) things.

(Possibly dumb question) As a topologist, not a computer scientist - is "discrete differential forms" just the practice of computing things in De Rham cohomology by passing to simplicial homology via Poincare duality?

Nielsen and Chuang certainly isn't slim, but chances are you won't need to read every chapter. The style is certainly what you're asking for though.
