EXHORTATIONS: Respect traditions & dignity of English: i. Abbreviations Dr Prof. ii. Dept Theorem of Euler’s. Rs SCIENCE PROTOCOL 2009 Jan 28 BUSINESS PROTOCOL Jan 28 2009 ARMYPROTOCOL 28 Jan 2009 Start with “The Climax in Elegance in Algebra” for the syllabus topic “ The Galois Group of a Field”. Start with “The Icon of the Millennium” / “The Person of the 20th Century“/ “The Most Creative Intellect in the Human Race” for just “Albert Einstein”. [WONDER - JOY ] Hour. Age, property are countable, but not important. Excellence, Enthusiasm, Guidance (personal or professional ) are not countable in units, but they count a lot for a research scholar. 2. RESEARCH & Foundational approach: STANDARD PHILOSOPHIES IN MATHS FORMALISM (Hilbert) PLATONISM/ REALISM (Einstein) INTUITIONISM/ CONSTRUCTIVISM (Brouwer) Mainstream approach: (Latest philosophy) MATHEMATICAL HUMANISM (Hersh 2001) PHIL. MEANINGfulness INFALlibility GOAL FORMALISM meaningless infallible invent [Pure] PLATONISM meaningful infallible discover [Applied] INTUITIONISM meaningfulfallibleconstruct in a finite number of steps [computer science] HUMANISM meaningful fallible correctible BISOCIATION occurs when two seemingly unrelated things are shown to have unanticipated connections. Quantum field theory & Topology of 4D diff. manifolds; K-theory, Diff.Geometry & Elliptic PDE; Wavelets & Data analysis [genomics], Quantumgravity. c : Celerity (speed of light) (1) c + c = c [Einstein’s result 1905] where + : composition of collinear high speeds. Recall: In real analysis, c : Cardinality of the Continuum (2) c + c = c [Cantor’s result, 1875] where + : the cardinal addition. The form similarity of (1),(2) is BISOCIATION. [c finite in(1) and c infinite in (2)] The potential (incomplete) infinity: ∞ An infinity of actual (completed) infinities: 0 , 1 , 2 , ⋯ .

ETHICS IN RESEARCH: “Ask permission from the copyright holder when you want to reproduce a complete table or figure or quote more than, say 100 words or 5% of the original publication, whichever is less”. Beware of ‘cut & paste culture’. O’Connor, M Writing Successfully in Science, Chapman and Hall 1993 3. PROFESSIONAL MATHEMATICAL WRITING Ramanujan is called the The Mathematician’s Mathematician for 600 conjectures! -NEWMAN in M.Klein (Ed.) Math in the Modern World, 1969. Now Ramanujan’s work is applied to Computer Science, Cancer research and Polymer chemistry. Challenge 2005 “Although technical writing like teaching is a primary activity of many mathematicians, the principles of good mathematical exposition are rarely made explicit”. Boas, R.P. Editor, Notices of AMS WRITE Mathematics RIGHT: A Handbook for Professionals L.Radhakrishna (to appear 2009) Principles of Professional Writing: 250 [overcoming the challenge] Euphony, Etiquettes & Elegance [desiderata of style] Presentation format: Casual Professional Principle of Writing Writing Professionalism 4. CONCLUSION: An index of research professional status: SCI ENCE CITATION INDEX (SCI) 2000 For a 100- citation 3: 20,000 for India 80: 20,000 the world average. Bisociation for content Professionalism for form in reporting research as advocated by Prof. V.V. Narlikar, the Professional Presenter would help in boosting our SCI. If IAGRG can enhance SCI better and it would not, then that is SIN!! 4.MATHEMATICIAN S & Who is a Mathematician? ∞ e dx -∞ -x2 Physicists are getting NOBEL prizes as well as FIELDS MEDALS.
