Serre's Linear Representations on Finite Groups

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be J.-P. Serre’s Linear Representations of Finite Groups.

My creator is a Professor at the College de France. He has previously published a number of books, including Groupes Algebriques et Corps de Classes, Corps Locaux, and Cours d’Arithmetique (A Course in Arithmetic, published by Springer-Verlag as Vol. 7 in the Graduate Texts in Mathematics).

Which Springer GTM would you be? The Springer GTM Test

Who the hell am I?! Clearly, an Introduction to Knot Theory. Released from the prison of solipsism at last!

Hey, don't be hatin' on representation theory.

Ha! I know what combination of answers you used too, Clay.

I don't imagine it was too hard to guess.

Although you should be aware that multiple combinations will lead to the same book.

Well, if Egypt is on your travel itinerary, I don't recommend it at the current moment.

I'm not sure India is such a wise choice at the moment, either.

Bah, not worse than any other time. Granted, most Americans probably can't tell the difference among the brown-skinned peoples between the Muslims and the non-Muslims, but the creation of a virtual Silicon Valley II in Bangalore and Madras by American companies is, with no accompanying rhetoric, probably accomplishing a lot of what the government is so loudly proclaiming itself to be doing in Iraq--i.e. winning friends for the future.

Don't forget Mumbai.
