| Apr 20, 2015 at 22:31 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | @FanZheng: this is a fairly different question. It's asking for a value judgement on learning a topic in a particular order. Generally speaking these kinds of "study advice" questions aren't treated particularly kindly here on MO. If asked in a fairly refined way, they do get tolerated, though. | |

| Apr 18, 2015 at 20:28 | comment | added | Fan Zheng | I'm not sure what is the rationale for closing here; pretty much the same question, asked about algebraic geometry, is staying there pretty well: mathoverflow.net/questions/2446/…, so do you guys think algebraic geometry is"research level" mathematics while algebraic / differential topology somehow isn't? | |
