Okay - given that it is 100 pages, give a list of the landmarks of the
paper, or alternatively,
1. What is the problem that you are addressing?
2. What is the contribution of the paper?

Okay. Let start of with the simple quadratic equation.

Given (x-2)(x-3) =0 -> x^2-5x+6 =0.
How do you apply your method to turn x^2-5x+6=0 into an algebraic form,
using differential equations, so as to find the roots of the equation?

Actually, what you might have is a method of solving polynomial equations
using differential equations as oppose to algebraic manipulation. Now the
question that is on my mind (and I would suppose others) would be
1. How does you method work? (YOU WILL OF COURSE BE GIVEN THE CREDIT OF
COMING UP WITH THE IDEA)
2. Can it be generalized?
3. Does it give a novel/different view on current mathematical methods of
solving polynomials.

Well, Okay, I am asking them - and at a level that is simple enough to
follow easily. Hence if you are serious about your work then solving the
about quadratic equation using differential equations should be
straightforward.

Whatever you do - DON'T move the argument to a higher level by either using
fancy language or dismissing the example as trivial.
