Department of Mathematics
●Pure Mathematics
●Applied Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics was formed in 1949 to coincide with the establishment of Shimane University. Mathematics is an indispensable part of human activities, and is one of the basic elements, “reading”, “writing” and “calculating”, in primary education. Advanced mathematics seeks beauty in numbers, and also provides tools and language to analyze and describe various phenomena.
The education program of the department provides two majors, Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, to acquire the knowledge and skills of mathematics, statistics and computer science for living in today’s high-tech society. Pure Mathematics includes algebra, topology, and differential geometry, and differential equations. Applied Mathematics includes optimization theory, statistics, dynamical systems, and mathematical biology.
