Cultivate logical thinking and deep insight by attaining a grounding in and specialized knowledge of mathematics — the foundation of all human intellectual endeavors

Over several millennia, mathematics has formed the foundation of sciences related to nature and society. In the Department of Mathematics, we aim to develop individuals with a grounding in math's long history, a broad academic background, as well as strong mathematical abilities that enable them to succeed in various fields. The curriculum is comprised of carefully selected fundamental content from each area of mathematics, together with a finely tuned instructional system that incorporates exercise problems from which students can learn proactively. The curriculum structure allows students to acquire essential knowledge of modern mathematics and mathematical reasoning. Furthermore, it is possible to touch on high-level and specialized fields of mathematics by studying advanced technical texts in small seminars.

Message from the Department Chair

$Tadashi Ochiai$

Mathematics, which studies numbers, geometric figures, and functions, has been built over thousands of years through the accumulated deep insights and dedication of many mathematicians. While mathematics is highly useful when applied to various sciences that deal with natural and economic phenomena, studying the subject itself also provides many elements that serve as the foundation for human intellectual activity.
In the undergraduate program of the Department of Mathematics, students learn the basics of modern mathematics. In their fourth year, they choose a topic from algebra, geometry, or analysis for their Independent Research Project and participate in seminars. In the graduate program, students study highly advanced modern mathematics and conduct research aligned with their individual topics, where they can take part in frontier research. The experience and methodology obtained by learning and researching mathematics through these programs will surely prove useful in various situations for the rest of our long life.
