Dear @mitpress, .Please let me know when do you plan to publish English language edition of “Harvests and Sowings.”.Thank you.

I am sure a hefty amount of money must have been paid to these utterly corrupt, morally degenerate, and intellectually bankrupt judges to deliver such a verdict in favor of the publishing houses.
The Delhi High Court has ordered Sci-Hub, Libgen, and other shadow libraries to be banned in India.

An accessible text that doesn’t require knowledge beyond logical thinking, and number systems, is the attached one (Oystein). However, I also recommend a parallel work on Hermann Weyl’s eternal masterpiece, “The Continuum—A critical examination of the foundation of Analysis.”
@Golovanov_ammoc What book would you suggest to start with in philosophy of math?.

Indian courts have time to do BS about everything under the sun except listening to victims who have been fighting cases for decades! Countless died while waiting for their righteous justice. Meanwhile you can hear judges philosophising “justice delayed is justice denied.”.

Mathematics differs profoundly from paradigmatic empirical sciences concerning the nature of its subject matter and the methods it employs. Just as geographers discover continents and oceans, so mathematicians discover body of truths about mathematical objects. #Philosophy.

In UK, it’s better to consider Warwick, ICL, and Edinburgh. In my understanding, you would have more people interested in TEACHING—the most important factor for an incoming UG—at these places than OxBridge! These places offer a more accessible and guided tour to learn math.
@Golovanov_ammoc I think American system is much better because similar to what MIPT has they have lecturers who are great at lecturing. In comparison most academics in U.K. are forced teaching and they neither like it nor good at it as they instead prefer to do research.

I chose Williams and Reed because I know a few of their teaching faculties and their strength. They are small schools and has a high ratio of UG going for PhD. This only is possible provided their UG have fine grasp of their sciences and want to invest years in grad studies.
@predict_addict You need to fine a place that can also consider your request for need based scholarship & has a fine teaching. Given highly opaque process of admissions, at least these colleges, have some sense in kind of candidate they choose for UG math.

And many often feel why do I have so profound regard about our Russian schools of mathematical thoughts and why I am determined for its renaissance.

“Kolmogorov’s theory of complexity prefigured the development of artificial intelligence.” .—a Fields Medalist!
Andrey Kolmogorov: The Soviet Counterpart to Claude Shannon.When we think of information theory, the name that usually comes to mind is Claude Shannon, the American mathematician whose 1948 paper “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” founded the field.

For a person to be a visionary of one kind or another, he actually has to explore the boundless and unconditioned heights of human thoughts. Does Indian academic system cultivate a healthy and absolutely NON-POLITICAL exploration—philosophical & scientific—from an early age?.
I believe it’s worth documenting here that India has virtually no chance of standing anywhere close to Russian, Chinese, European, American, or Japanese sciences because India lacks both a system & homegrown visionaries like Kolmogorov, Aleksandrov, and others. Cc @narendramodi.

Despite all its flaws, it will continue to be a guiding light for all immeasurably great ideas which will see the light of day and would have the highest chances of making the everlasting impact!.

It is only due to this non-trivial kind of training which USSR provided its pupils that books like the attached one came out so naturally from lectures delivered to UG students and which is on par with those written by Weyl, Dirac & Newmann himself.
Lessons on quantum mechanics and advanced calculus were painstakingly typed, duplicated, and mailed to students in Siberia, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. These students would solve fiendishly difficult problems alone at their kitchen tables, then send their solutions back to.

“In Russia, you solve large list of problems—arranged in harmonious order of depth, difficulty and interrelationships—only to see that you can construct a whole theory on your own.” .Here is a text that Sarthak did (under me) and proved Abel-Ruffini theorem in the stated sense.

Chinese would have had done it more effective with kind of money they invested but they didn’t had someone as visionary as Kolmogorov & Aleksandrov to reform their education system. Nonetheless, their efforts are yielding fruits and world can see that with their naked eyes. 6/n.

@predict_addict Unfortunately, “historian of education & sciences” are too busy publishing their fiction instead of documenting events which are truly tectonic academic movement when viewed from the lens of their “lasting impact” in shaping the generation of new schools of thoughts.

@Golovanov_ammoc You summed it up perfectly emulated USSR math system and threw insane amount of money at it. Worked well for China for sure.
