Development of Geometry and Topology in state universities of Iran (2018-2022)

This note considers the speed of growth of the geometry and topology community of the country in the 5-year period of $2018-2022$. According the published statistics, there is no growth in human resources, and expecting growth in the number of publications or significant scientific achievements does not seem so logical. Indeed, a logical outcome of such an observation, together with the announcement of officials regarding growth in science and publications is that this growth is related to other branches of science and not basic sciences. Basic sciences have actually experienced a negative growth in human resources. The descending number of academic member of staff at some of top rank universities in the country, is an example of such a saddening phenomenon.
