A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.

1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

MODERATORS
Currently reading Manifolds, Tensor Analysis, and Applications by Abraham et al. Basically, how do you do geometry and calculus on surfaces or objects that are enough like a surface?
For STEM nerds: this book discusses manifolds in infinite dimensional spaces as well as finite dimensions. I believe there is a fluid dynamics application in the book that requires the infinite dimensional theory. There are far simpler books to learn this material if you just need to speedrun into calculations, but I really want the "full story".
