I just took the Springer GTM test and it turns out that I’d be Lickorish’s Intro to Knot Theory. It’s uncanny - my honour’s thesis was a mishmash of knot theory, quantum groups and DNA topology.

If I were a Springer-Verlag Graduate Text in Mathematics, I would be W.B.R. Lickorish’s An Introduction to Knot Theory. I am an introduction to mathematical Knot Theory; the theory of knots and links of simple closed curves in three-dimensional space. I consist of a selection of topics which graduate students have found to be a successful introduction to the field. Three distinct techniques are employed; Geometric Topology Manoeuvres, Combinatorics, and Algebraic Topology. Which Springer GTM would you be? The Springer GTM Test |
What, humour on a maths publisher web-page? Surely it isn’t permissible?!

Robin Hartshorne’s Algebraic Geometry here.
