thanks for the correction - very informative! that'll teach me to just go

Hello Jerzy and Bulat,
Thanks for your perspectives. Bulat, I can understand that you find it
shocking that the folks at Moscow University still study Lisp, but I
wouldn't be so quick to condemn them for being dinosaurs. After all, they
just stopped teaching the SICP course (using Scheme) at
Jerzy,
this is a very interesting point you bring up, from my perspective.
I should point out that certain US-trained mathematicans (myself included)
are actually quite jealous of the Russian math education system - they
produce mathematicians who tend to be excellent in depth and breadth, wh

I think that an email to Tim Gowers would yield LaTeX source for the pdf
articles in his Princeton Companion to Mathematics, in case it has
articles on topics you care about:

I like wikipedia for mathematics quite a lot. However, I thought I might
direct attention to the in-progress "Princeton Companion to Mathematics":

JK, of course there are foolish teachers out there. I don't think Felipe

was going to stop haskelling anytime soo
At this point I must mention that Tim Gowers has an excellent article on
Tensor Products, entitled "How to lose your fear of tensor products":

Tim Gowers is a pretty ok mathematician - worth taking tips from, I'd say
;)

are you applying to computer science programs or math programs?
for category theory, you might look at where the Ken Shans of the world
went to grad school.
for diff geo, there are a host of great places. and I don't know exactly
what you mean by diff geo. You could be into gauge theory, in
(aside to Dylan T: I hope you don't mind me advertising your (well,
public) web pages here. In my opinion a lot more people should know about
the stuff that both you and Ken are doing!)
Here's an example of some great math being done in haskell:

I cringe to post to a thread with this subject line, but no American
mathematician I know would call it "Moe-nad".
I think the US math consensus is "Mon - ad", where mon is like the
faux-jamaican "Hey, mon", or (more to the point) monoid or monomorphism.
