| Jan 25, 2014 at 9:53 | comment | added | Misha | I would say "some parts of the book" instead of "good part": Even if you have all the background in the world, reading Gromov's books usually not easy (but very rewarding!). Consider the story of Exercise number 1 from Gromov-Ballmann-Schroeder, which became an infamous open problem (and stayed so until very recently!). | |
