That is, how much math?
I know Clifford algebras are popular, but are they necessary?
Quaternions? Grassman thingamgigs?
Lie groups and differential geometry are probably essential, and group
theory in general. Topos theory probably not?
Please help direct my feeble self study. Thanks.
With all due respect, I think the process started
when 2+2 = 5-1, when the "-" was sub'd for "+".
I recall that in early grade school. Do you guys
