I want the words "fuck algebraic topology" etched in gigantic letters on my substantial and elaborate mausoleum. That is all.

You know they mitigate. You will end up with: "Here rests Ravel H. Joyce, who felt in love with algebraic topology...".

So, does that mean we won't be seeing your name on the "Notable algebraic topologists" Wikipedia list anytime soon? ;) Marc

I want the words "He was a modest man" inscribed on my huge, elborate, mausoleum so that the thousands of people who will visit it each day will be aware of how modest I was.

You have my sympathy. The only thing I can remember on the subject is the hairy ball theorem. [^] I can't imagine why I should remember just that bit. :rolleyes: :laugh:

:) Well, I think that's very unlikely. I mean, at the moment I can appreciate it on some level, but it's been a while since I've had the energy to even be able to read through much of the technical detail. I'm no Poincaré.

:) It's a good theorem, that one. But it still doesn't entice me towards the rest of algebraic topology.
