Educational and research objectives

This program aims to train students to acquire basic knowledge and academic ability in mathematical science, and to approach the essence of various problems through theoretical considerations, including abstraction and generalization, and considerations that combine computer simulations. The problems dealt with will not only be problems in mathematical science, but also the application of mathematical science in natural science, social science, etc., and by experiencing everything from understanding problems and modeling using mathematical formulas to problem solving and presenting the results, students will be sent out into society equipped with logical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Diploma Policy (Policy for Graduation Certification and Degree Awarding)

■ Knowledge and skills
As part of their professional skills, students have acquired the ability to analyze various subjects based on mathematical models, understand problems and solve them logically. As part of their basic knowledge, students have acquired English and information technology. In other words, students have acquired the basics of methods for approaching various problems in order to solve them.

■Thinking ability, judgment ability, expressive ability
They have acquired the ability to communicate to others the problems they are considering and their solutions by observing the subject and grasping the problems based on basic knowledge, using the insight and judgment based on analytical training, and by reconstructing these objectively and logically, or by extracting and modeling the essential points.

■ Motivation, interest, and attitude
They have acquired an inquisitive mind to understand unknown problems encountered in the real world, and have the ambition to become researchers, teachers, and engineers who are interested in difficult problems, can tackle them sincerely, and can use their creativity to solve them.

Curriculum Policy (Policy for creating and implementing educational courses)

We will build an educational program that fosters researchers, teachers, and engineers who are creative and responsible toward people, society, and the natural environment through an education in mathematical sciences that emphasizes fundamentals while also paying attention to applications to various fields of natural science and information science.

In the first year, basic knowledge is emphasized, including English as a communication tool, computer literacy, mathematics as the basis for learning systems analysis and mathematical science, and information technology as the basis for systems development. In addition, lectures and exercises on analysis, linear algebra, and basic logic, which are common foundations in academic fields related to mathematical science, are arranged as compulsory subjects.

In the second year, students will take elective compulsory courses in algebra, geometry, set theory, probability and statistics, etc., which are important in mathematical sciences, based on the courses they have taken in the first year. These courses will be combined with exercises to help students acquire and solidify their basic academic skills. Students will also begin learning about computers and numerical analysis.

In the third year, some specialized lecture courses that include some applied mathematics are arranged to provide students with a more practical foundational knowledge, and several specialized courses are arranged to help students achieve one of the department's educational goals of "application to various fields." At the same time, "mathematical specialized exercises" are arranged as compulsory courses to improve logical thinking and communication skills.

In the fourth year, as the culmination of the curriculum, students are assigned to one of the laboratories to conduct their graduation research. They choose a research topic from among not only traditional problems in pure mathematics, but also approaches to familiar problems based on basic mathematics, applications to nonlinear mathematics and biomathematics, numerical analysis based on new algorithms, and finance mathematics, and read specialist books, do exercises, and conduct research under the guidance of faculty members, leading to the writing of their graduation thesis.

Admission Policy

■ Knowledge and skills
Students will have an understanding of the foreign languages, mathematics, science, etc. necessary for studying a specialized field, and will have knowledge equivalent to that of a high school graduate, with a particular focus on basic academic ability in mathematics.

■Thinking ability, judgment ability, expressive ability
This is a level equivalent to graduating from high school, and students will be able to consider things from multiple perspectives and logically, and express and communicate their own thoughts in an easily understandable manner.

■ Motivation, interest, and attitude
Students who understand the characteristics of the department, have an interest in mathematics and natural sciences-related fields, and are motivated and interested in using their specialized knowledge and skills to contribute to society.
