A Letter To Churchill College, Cambridge

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So definately most of the abstract math practiced at Cambridge, MIT and similar places are outdated and must be dismantled (Thus I view their leaders as redundant professors).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
Ph.D. Churchill College, Cambridge, 1979
