And now for a completely different test!

Could this be mathier?



If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be William S. Massey's A Basic Course in Algebraic Topology.



I am intended to serve as a textbook for a course in algebraic topology at the beginning graduate level. The main topics covered are the classification of compact 2-manifolds, the fundamental group, covering spaces, singular homology theory, and singular cohomology theory. These topics are developed systematically, avoiding all unecessary definitions, terminology, and technical machinery. Wherever possible, the geometric motivation behind the various concepts is emphasized.

BWAH!!!

This is taking this test thing just too far.

Which higher level maths text would I be? I don't think I want to know...

No kidding. Freaks me right the fuck out that I could be associated with a text that I in no way would understand. I am taking a break from the quizzes. Quizzes kill, I am sure of it.

I wonder if this is just a viral marketing ploy.

I'm the same text! And it's fun not being able to predict what answers will bring up what.
