Dear Newsgroup:

I saw an ad in the AMS (EIMS) about a position at Cambridge, England:

CHURCHILL COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

COLLEGE LECTURESHIP IN MATHEMATICS

The following is the letter I sent to its senior member:

Hello:

My name is Mehran Basti and I am graduate of your college (Ph.D 1979).

Well, since my Ph.D. degree I have been engaged in classical mathematics.

I will invite you to visit my articles on sci. math. Symbolic (to better get to know me and my science).

http://mathforum.org/kb/forum.jspa?forumID=228

See my files on My New Math (my research statement is there) or My New Energy Formula.

I will enclose my resume and I am available for seminars.

Yes, this has been my post Ph.D. life (about 28 years now).

Although I am unemployed (since July 2005) WITH NO REFERENCES, I will not apply for your advertised math position, unless you are very interested in my application!

I doubt they ever accept me for a position there.

One reason is that math at Cambridge is highly abstract and heavily proof related (as far as I remember in pure math department and similarly at Berkeley USA).

The other reason is that I have different kind of math, which is not at all, the taste of current leaders (and I consider myself at the rank of the past masters).

So definitely most of the abstract math practiced at Cambridge, MIT and similar places are outdated and must be dismantled (Thus I view their leaders as redundant professors).

You can see once every century possibly your graduates (like myself) may wish to revolutionize math.

This is in fact mathematics of the future centuries.

I will be interested to see if your colleagues have any questions relative to my new science. They are as usual silent like MIT, Harvard etc.

I also invite you to consider helping me to write and publish my lecture notes (2000 pages with software, subject to some conditions).

I had harsh criticism of the issues of Fermat Last Theorem (noted in the sci math. Newsgroup, I am positive and serious about the issues raised).

I invite your university to seriously investigate the issue (I understand it has political and scientific ramifications).

I know that we have a lot of differences both from mathematics standpoint as well as behavior of math people in issues like FLT (bearing in mind A. Wiles also graduated from the same department 1979).

Sorry for my viewpoints of Cambridge University since I am one of its graduates, but once a revolution happens in science, so as behaviors, textbooks and fields are subject to review.

I will place this letter on sci.math newsgroup for public record.

Sincerely

Dr.Mehran Basti

Dear Newsgroup:

My communication with Cambridge was primarily for the purpose of updating my science with them since about 28 years past Ph.D.

Still it is a good idea for them to understand my science.

I am ready for seminars.

Cambridge knows my situation since I had applied many times for their positions and sent my papers for publications to them (nothing happened!).

By the way there is a difference between a lots of proof in qualitative means than solving.

Obviously, I am solving equations means I prove that certain facts exists thus we get the solution.

But there are a lot of differences in concrete applications (i.e. exact solutions) than those abstract proofs in the libraries.

I believe the era of those works is mainly over.

About its political ramifications. I believe they have brought up the issue of FLT in 1993 to solve some of their inner crisis in math (incidentally that prohibited advancement of my research, since they wanted to ignore me, I believe they had enough time after my 1985 paper to engage in this conspiracy!).

I believe this was a tool of setting up Princeton and Cambridge in science.

My side of story is that it was a deception of public.

Obviously A.Wiles is British and supported by Cambridge.

Any prosecution in this domain will have ramifications in all areas.

See my communications with math community in the thread FLT in sci, math. Newsgroup.

Dear Newsgroup:

I have to write my lecture notes with software to cover my retirement and loss of career.

There are a lot of materials, and cannot be explained on paper only.

2000 pages of lecture notes only describes steps, the rest must be read on a programming on Maple (similar the one I had on Associated Legendre, see my new Math).

I have hundreds of files on my computer since over a quarter century of work on this field.

I am sure they will acquire the similar results once the research is taken off internationally.

We are talking a new universe of computations, not seen before.

As the degree of polynomial increases so as its length of programming and memory and speed on computer (as needed).

I can today solve many classes of higher order polynomials not imaginable by Galois theory.

There are a lot of issues linked together and must be written in order.

I need to consult professional programmers.

I do not know why the US government places supercomputers for researcher in the care of the AMS president.

He is ill understood about the future of math in America.

I will cover, polynomials, differential equations (also system), integrals (elliptic or not as a class), factorization of polynomials, and classical equations like Bessel with new relations, nonlinear systems, and other applications.

The math community is waiting if I accept their leader’s status that will never happen.

Yes, that is a good idea.

Any one has any position for me as management consultant or similar
suitable positions could contact me at:

Basti05b@aol.com

I am still hoping to get an academic position; I love to be in that
environment.

You may not understand this, but writing to someone to let them know that
you do not wish to apply for the job is a good way to esnure that they
will not offer you an interview. Having no references also doesn't help,
although when you don't want to apply it will probably not sway the
decision.

Highly likely, since you have asked not to be considered.

proof related (as far as I remember in pure math department and

Mathematics often works better with proofs than without them. If you don't
want a proof you may be better off looking at English, philopsphy, etc.

I thought that all graduates want to revolutionise maths. Some manage to
do this.

They may, but a letter stating you don't ant a job isnn't the best way to
get them to critique you work.

I doubt if they would be willing to help you write 2000 pages, especially
with unspecified conditions.

What political ramifications? For that matter, what scientific
ramifications?

I made the mistake at looking at your 'proof.' I can see now why you don't
believe in mathematical proofs. However, your two 'papers' may serve you
better if you apply for a job as a management consultant.
