Both groups had very strong representatives, but Homological algebra is considered by they had scarce overlap in research. mathematicians to be one of the most formal Perhaps, one of the reasons for this strange state subjects within mathematics. Its formal austerity of affairs was a side effect of the great achievement requires a lot of efforts to come through basic of one of the best Grothendieck’s students, Pierre denitions and frightens off many of those who Deligne, who used complicated homological algebra starts studying the subject.
