Mathematical models to calculate the paths of quantum particles
Mr. Polkinghorne created his mathmatical models to study the structure characteristics of particles. As he states "The basic presumption is: There must be certain structural characteristics in a particle like electron which make it obey postulates of modern theories. As it is ‘difficult’ to find structure of electron experimentally, we make a mathematical attempt." (1. Nitin Ramchandra Gadre) His models were recognized by being selected as a fellow of the Royal Society.
