(Anonymous)[Link] | Ah yes, Hungarian mathematics...This reminds me of Frank Quinn’s remark:
On page 206 he [David Corfield] quotes Gromov as attributing a lack of appreciation for his bookon the h-principle in partial differential equations to resistance to conceptual work. I suspect Gromov is using ‘conceptual’ here as ‘lacking technical detail’: he is a product of the Russian school that puts more emphasis on ideas than precision…
I get the feeling he does not altogether approve….
