Ah, goodie. Thanks for letting me go on a rant. Quoting "In the AMS (American Mathematical Society) Short Math Guide for LaTeX you'll find both a recommendation (page 8) to...

It is possible to set up things so that membership is a binary relation, but that’s not how I think about it (and I don’t think any of us do,...

I’m not going to argue further on this since generations of typesetters, the AMS LaTeX style guide and I seem to be in minority advocating the traditional kerning for typesetting...

I always prefer composition, but look kindly on believers of other faiths as long as they leave me to die in my sinful ways (perhaps with the exception of those...

Thanks - I look forward to looking at it! Among other things, I also enjoyed the tiny comment typical of Niel (“Why not just …”), the overflow is a small...

The only definition I know is by the universal property {f:R[x]->A | R-alg homo} = underlying set of A Is it bad? Bjorn > On Mar 2, 2021, at 13:18,...

Given that we have geometric access to the tensor product we only need a geometric definition of the integral case Z[x]. Bjørn On Tue, 2 Mar 2021 at 14:00, Pierre...

On that note, Z[x] appears much more geometrically accessible as a graded ring (eg as the cohomology of BBZ, but other options could be better on a practical level). Do...

I find myself at my office w/o my computer. Can someone help me out and send me a pdf of the book as it appears today? Bjorn > On 18...
