| Aug 13, 2011 at 3:04 | comment | added | The Mathemagician | I'm impressed,Javier-that's as good-if not better-a short bibliography of advanced mathematics texts as I've ever seen. It's also rather interesting how the old classics of Spivak, Guillimen and Pollack and Milnor are being seen less and less in such lists-and J.Lee's and Nicolaescu 's books are being seen more and more. It IS hard to find a source that reaches just the right balance of rigor,breadth and clarity-where a student can master a substantial portion of modern differential geometry in a reasonable amount of time.Those 2 are certainly excellent suggestions. | |
