| Sep 6, 2011 at 10:39 | comment | added | Jan Jitse Venselaar | I don't understand any of Lurie's work, but the advice you've been given is awfully broad. Differential Geometry and Algebraic Topology are very broad subjects, including many subfields. Any useful advice should include at least "...on the level of (insert book here)". And "modern physics"? I hope an understanding on how to build experiments with atto-second lasers (for example) is not necessary to read Lurie's work. | |
