in which the library section (QA614) is compared to the produce section of a market.

for me, going to the maths library is like going to the supermarket. i was browsing through the differenτia1 top0lo9y section -- QA 614 or so -- and everything looked good.

i even picked up this book by de Rh@m, called Differenτiab1e Manif01ds. turning to the table of contents, guess what?

chapter iii discusses ¢urrents, including Dk and D' and boundary currents and everything.

to think: "differenτiable manif01ds" sounds like such an innocuous title; in this slim volume he goes on to discuss h0mol09y and harm0nic forms.



so i'll hold on to this little book for a little while, and see what ¢urrents were like, before the federer-f1emin9 theory. in the meanwhile, there are a few errands of mine, in differenτial top01ogy.
