It depends on whether you're interested in arithmetic geometry or not.

[Anonymous No.9479757]

>>9479585
A lot of theorems in commutative algebra are sort of generalizations of theorem in elementary number theory. So it may help with motivation in understanding said theorems when you go to learn commutative algebra for algebraic geometry.

However, unless you do arithmetic geometry, not much else will show up. Maybe some analytic number theory when dealing with the complex geometry of elliptic curves.

My research is in descriptive set theory specifically definability using borel classification and complexity theory.
>>9485350
I found it fun. I get to touch a little of almost every field of mathematical logic and have a lot of breadth in mathematics. My subfield is in classification problems, so we have to know a lot of various problems in point set topology, algebraic and graph structures. Some people deal with classification of C* algebras and operators so even as far as functional analysis.
>>9485916
I don't know why people shit on set theory. Probably think everybody just plays with axiomatics and large cardinals and it's pointless to the rest of mathematics, in other words they don't know what a majority of set theorists do. I don't know any books that cover all those topics, but for set theory you should work through Kunen at least to understand most special topics in set theory.

Personally, I worked through about the first half of this book https://www.amazon.com/Algebraic-Geometry-Complex-Numbers-Universitext/dp/1461418089 and the first 3 chapters of Eisenbud&Harris before attempting Hartshorne.

The first book is really nice if you have prior experience with differential geometry.

The first 3 chapters of Eisenbud&Harris are similar to chapter 2 of Hartshorne, but give a lot more geometric intuition for why the various definitions are the way they are. For instance, Eisenbud&Harris does a really good job giving geometric intuition for flatness (something that Hartshorne approaches very abstractly).

[Anonymous No.9496204]

For my purposes it's trying to understand where the higher dimensional analog comes from. The wiki pages are worthless because it's just epeen flexing for wikitenders.

I have a numerical use for them and I'm desperate to understand them in a way similar to understanding the relationship between [math]f(x) = \frac{ax+b}{cx+d}[/math] and matrix multiplication, but I can't fucking get it and it's pissing me off.

Not that anon, but I learned precalc without even knowing what precalc is. Precalculus texts are a waste of time unless you want to study engineering (since a lot of precalc books have a focus on applications, like Stewart's shitty Precalculus), because of how poorly the subjects are being studied. It's not helpful to study anything with the label 'precalculus'.

If you want to study trigonometry, get a trigonometry textbook. If you want to study polynomials, go get a book on elementary algebra. And so on.

The AoPS have their cons, namely that they are meant to be instructed with so it can be difficult at times to self-teach yourself from them, but they are perhaps the best books at their level. Their website also comes with extra problems and a forum dedicated to competition math. If they were slightly cheaper I'd buy all of them and teach exclusively from them.

Lee's "Introduction to Smooth Manifolds" is more of a dictionary on everything you could ever want to know about smooth manifolds.

It is not a book on riemannian manifolds, symplectic manifolds, topological manifolds etc.

But anything you need to know about purely smooth manifolds is probably contained in that book.

Geometry existed before the Creation, is co-eternal with the mind of God, is God himself (what exists in God that is not God himself?). Geometry provided God with a model for the creation and was implanted into man, together with God's own likeness—and not merely conveyed to his mind through the eyes.

You might have better luck buying from Springer directly. I bought Visual Complex Functions directly from Springer, and it was not CreateSpace. On the back, it says printed in Germany, binded in Netherlands(or maybe the other way).

That said, I also bought a GTM from Springer directly, and Springer told me it was POD before I bought it. It's probably garbage, as I haven't gotten it yet. If you have access to Springer's ebooks on their website, you can get a MyCopy, which is $25, so at least you save some money getting a physical book without really losing the quality because its still going to be POD. That said, I never gotten a MyCopy because I like my books to be better than POD shit.
