About this blog

I feel this blog as a reflection of my thoughts to myself , and sometimes as a public diary, and the is my only friend to share my thoughts who says never a "oh no! ,you shouldn't....That is boring...."

The perennial problem of Mathematics Department at IIT Kanpur

The history says IIT kanpur's Mathematics department had high affinity towards Harmonic analysts which causes an imbalanced recruitment among the department's faculty.
  Hence a premier engineering institute like IITK has lacked practical (real world application minded) mathematicians who can rightly serve the technical kids.

Now the regime has shifted towards Algebraic Topologists.  Probably the administration has got a change of mind but the culture has not.
  Hardly there is any medium to high level requirement of abstract knowledge of algebraic mythology required to be imparted on technical graduates. Of whom HIGH percentage of kids don't give a heck about abstract algebraic fantasies.  Then why filling up the faculty list with unwanted(but may be capable of other arts) entrants who actually belong to other purely fundamental research oriented establishments.
