As someone who wants to obtain a deep and precise understanding of the objects at hand i spent a lot of time trying to decipher his short hand notations.. His notation for the "directional derivative" along paths, for example, had me totally lost untli I understood (after asking on MSE) that it's actually a pullback connection. I cannot recommend this book to anyone who seeks a precisely notated exposition. | |
