Exclusive Interview with Dr. Poonam Kumar Sharma



 Question: What inspired you to enter into Mathematics?

Answer: Mathematics gives me a different approach to understand the universe which also motivates me to study the subject, with a hope of understanding the universe in more scientific and detailed matter. That happiness after solving a problem which trapped me for hours motivates me to do more mathematics.

Question: Since how long, you have been into this scientific field and in which cities you have been associated for administration, entrepreneurship, teaching, research, commercial and training programs?

Answer: I am working in this field of teaching since 1993 and contributing in research and training programs from 1999 for teaching and relevant research activities. I am associated with D.A.V. College, Jalandhar, Punjab as professor in Mathematics, Jamia Millia Islamia, University, New Delhi as a research scholar for Ph.D., Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar and Lovely Professional University, Phagwara for guiding Ph.D. scholars.

 

Question: What are your future plans for administration, entrepreneurship, teaching, research and training programs in Mathematics?

Answer: Digital technologies have emerged as an essential tool in education. These technologies have shown a powerful impact on the education system. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has further institutionalised the applications of digital technologies in education. These digital technologies have made a paradigm shift in the entire education system. It is not only a knowledge provider but also a co-creator of information, a mentor, and an assessor. Technological improvements in education have made life easier for students. Instead of using pen and paper, students nowadays use various software and tools to create presentations and projects. When compared to a stack of notebooks, an iPad is relatively light. When opposed to a weighty book, surfing an E-book is easier. These methods aid in increasing interest in research.  So, my future plan is to work in the direction of creating environments for online learning. Whatever is needed to enhance the use of technologies must be worked out.

 

 

Question: Please introduce yourself and how do you want to be remembered / known in world?

Question: What are your recommendations to write a world class research article in Mathematics? What essential components and factors must be there? 

Answer Today the field of research has become more advanced. To write world class research article in Mathematics, copy paste method should be avoided and inferences and outcomes of genuine research should only the incorporated in research article. Basic and the applied research method be used. A critical requirement of a publication is to present the paper in enough detail so that a reader can follow the reasoning and confirm the resulting conclusions. Moreover, an author should be willing to defend the paper against criticism, therefore he/she should have available for later review the data used and key detail about the experimental method. Nowadays the vast majority of papers published in scientific journals today follow a simple structure. With some variations, they use an “Introduction, Material and Methods, Results and Discussion” format. This format seems to be durable. This format seems to faithfully reflect scientific work and, if necessary, to verify its approach and conclusion.

 

 

Question: What are your recommendations to write a world class case report in Mathematics? What essential components and factors must be there? 

Answer First the author should present a complete aspect of the already known facts of the case study.  Then he should write his work with originality. Even if an author is confident in his own aptitude, he needs to consult experts for checking. The author should provide enough details on the case. Because it is the details that mark the specificity of the reported study.

 

 

Question: What are your recommendations to write a world class review in Mathematics? What essential components and factors must be there? 

Answer An important requirement is to master widely the subject in the time. The next step is to present the paper in sufficient detail so that a reader can follow the reasoning presented and validate the resulting conclusions. Moreover, an author should be willing to protect the paper against criticism, therefore he should have available for later review the presented material used and the methodology used.

 

 

Question: What are your recommendations to establish a world class research institute for Mathematics?

Answer: The following points should be taken care of while establishing a world class research institute for mathematics:

·         The research institute for mathematics should be located in an environment close to nature so that mathematicians can hike or walk or whatever light group outdoor activity suits them--lots of math gets done during such interludes.

·         The building should be designed so that lots of serendipitous hallway encounters take place as people move around the building; apparently this was one of the reasons for MIT's success in its early days--people ran into each other in the hall and started chatting casually about stuff.

·         Do not skimp on the administrative and support staff as they are crucial to creating an environment conducive to mathematical activity.

·         A good math department secretary is worth his/her weight in gold. The mathematicians should not have to spend an inordinate amount of time going through red tape to get the services and items they need.

·         A good library is nice. People still like to thumb through physical math books and journals.

·         Also, the quiet surroundings are conducive to solitary mathematical contemplation

 

Question: What are your recommendations to improve employment and scope in Mathematics?

Answer: With the proper learning of Mathematics (steam wise). One can have tremendous opportunities to use it in almost every field. There is a large basket of professions for a maths graduate/post-graduate. Some of professions are the following:

Achieving a PhD in mathematics proposes an incredible opportunity to make an original contribution to mathematics.)

 

Question: What are your recommendations to authors, who are writing Books on Mathematics for more creativity and understanding of the subject?

Answer: The language used in writing the books must be very apt and precise. Elaborate descriptions be given where ever necessary so that the topic can be well understood by the reader. The topic must be in some sense me related to real life problems and how it can be solved must be provided.

 

Question: What according to you are the Top 5 major challenges (research problems) which need to be resolved urgently by world’s scientists in the area of Mathematics?

Answer: Top five major challenges (research problems) which need to be resolved may be as follows,

1)        Basic and Fundamental research is lost.

2)        To avoid plagiarism,

3)        Utility and usefulness of research to society.

4)        To avoid repetition in research problem.

5)        Today to avoid cut paste method in research.

 

Question: What are your recommendations to improve standards of Conferences in Mathematics? How can they be brainstorming and more creative?

Answer: The resource persons should deal the topic in more innovative and participative in manner. The latest development in the field of particular topic along with proper references be dealt with by the speaker. The concepts of topic can be made effective by using appropriate techniques and tools.

 

Question: Which major challenges do you see to establish India as world leader in Mathematics?

Answer: The scene in India continues, as always, to be uneven. In spite of its size, India’s presence in the world of Mathematics, Science and Technology is still small. The investment required to break into the world knowledge system is huge, and it appears both India and China will find it difficult to afford this for quite some time to come. In rough numbers, India accounts for about one-half percent of the total expenditure in the world on research and development, and about two percent of the resulting publications. Today the major problem in further development of India lies in learning to manage the extraordinary talent that the country possesses. India is often said to be home to one of the largest scientific communities in the world, but only a small percentage of those graduating in the mathematics, sciences are doing research. Indian society has traditionally reserved its deepest respect only for persons of moral authority. The current challenge is to encourage respect for those distinguished in mathematics and sciences as well.

Question: Any other thing, you would like to share with World?

Answer: The study of Mathematics should be made compulsory up to 12th stranded for all. But the curriculum for mathematics subject must be revised taking care of to relate the mathematics syllabus with real life problems. Also, the teacher’s must be taught how to teach in an effect manner so as to make it interesting to everyone.
