JTfM Vol 1 No 1 2008 - ONLINE EDITION - Inclusionality Research

Readership
Readers of Transfigural Mathematics are people who are searching for inspiration in and beyond their fields.
They have open minds. They love the odyssey of the mind that goes with arriving at a new idea at all. And they
love not only the idea but also the engaged, reader-friendly style of its presentation too. Readers of JTfM are
lovers of new ideas and their innovation that is made to bear on them and of the beauty of language too. So
they are broad-based researchers. They are incessant seekers. They are simple folks in want of spiritual and
intellectual pasture to enrich their lives and through this, transform this common space, the world, into a glorious
habitat that is a blessing to posterity.
In this regard...
The journal’s primary aims are
to encourage talents wherever they may be found and whosoever they may be
To bring to light great ideas that (i) have been established (iii) are new and have been developed to
some extent, or (iii) are new and are at the primary
stage of development provided these ideas have interdisciplinary
flavour and may or may not be controversial.....
to inculcate in the readers the spirit of inquiry
such that the journal has a readership that is
tolerant of new ideas which in most cases look strange at the beginning
ready to put things in question
derives joy from the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake
Frequency
Every edition of JTfM is connection-exchange-intensive. The ViewPoint in which trail-blazing mathematicians,
scientists, writers, artists and philosophers are interviewed requires reading through their works, getting in
touch with them, setting the questions and requesting for their photographs. Research Papers and articles need
to be reviewed. There is the need to be conversant with developments in mathematics and the sciences, literature
and the arts to bring to our readers thought-provoking and inspiring articles in MathsLetters, For The Records,
Research in the News, SciTech News, WritersDiary, ArtsWorld sections of the journal. Reviews of books
calls for extensive reading too. That’s why the journal is being produced four times a year. In addition to these
sections of the journal, there is the Highlight which confronts ongoing research with questions and opens new
perspectives on established thoughts with the aim of broadening them. For Highlight, contributions are solicited
from mathematicians, writers, scientists, philosophers of (mathematics, science, knowledge, being,
mind…), artists and people from other disciplines and engagements.
Circulation
With the online edition added to the printed edition, the journal goes far and wide. The journal, through its
online edition which is far cheaper than the printed copy covers the university libraries, libraries of research
centres, libraries of writers guilds and associations, arts council libraries and private libraries of lovers and beloved
of the muse around the world. The printed edition has the advantage of being a book and so ideal for the
library while the online edition can be pinned together by individual subscribers.
Donations
Since its inception in 1994, apart from the donation from a friend, Kenneth Hsü, professor emeritus of Stanford
and TEH Switzerland and the journal’s MathLetters Editor, Domingo Gómez Morin, the Editor-in-Chief who
launched the journal has been financing it. The advantage of this is that the journal can choose to and is independent.
All the same the journal welcomes donations and financial support both of which shall be announced
and received with thanks. It also welcomes sponsorship too without censorship nor strings.
