![]() | If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be Robin Hartshorne's Algebraic Geometry. My creator studied algebraic geometry with Oscar Zariski and David Mumford at Harvard, and with J.-P. Serre and A. Grothendieck in Paris. After receiving his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1963, he became a Junior Fellow at Harvard, then taught there for several years. In 1972 he moved to California where he is now Professor at the University of California at Berkeley. My siblings include "Residues and Duality" (1966), "Foundations of Projective Geometry (1968), "Ample Subvarieties of Algebraic Varieties" (1970), and numerous research titles. My creator's current research interest is the geometry of projective varieties and vector bundles. He has been a visiting professor at the College de France and at Kyoto University, where he gave lectures in French and in Japanese, respectively. My creator is married to Edie Churchill, educator and psychotherapist, and has two human sons and one daughter. He has travelled widely, speaks several foreign languages, and is an experienced mountain climber. He is also an accomplished musician, playing flute, piano, and traditional Japanese music on the shakuhachi. Which Springer GTM would you be? The Springer GTM Test |
heh...just joking...Jacques disocvered that...looking to see who had "us" in their interests...and found a community that had "the family ghost" listed...it was also called "familyghost"...and upon looking at it he immediately realized that it's a King Diamond community! (our band name was taken from a King Diamond song...in case anyone didn't know that...) and if you don't know who the King is, he's quite possibly THE funniest person ever...you should check out the link...there's only 3 posts but i couldn't stop laughing...and a huge interview...he's apparently making ABAGAIL II! (Abagail being his "classic" album...w/ "The Family Ghost" on it...and now it's gonna have a sequel...) i think i'm gonna go back and read that page some more...and the guy who does it has a webpage that i must also spend some time checkin' out...it'd better be about King Diamond too or i'll be pissed...(update: ooh! it's a link to the OFFICIAL KD page...sweet fuckin' action...)
