OVERVIEW
Today, mathematics is in fact the foundation of almost all advanced technologies which drives our modern society. Therefore, there is now a need like never before in many scientific and technical fields for researchers skillful in pure and applied mathematics. Without doubt this trend will continue in the years to come on an international scale.
The Graduate School of Mathematics at Kyushu University is one of the most significant mathematics departments in Japan. At the same time as pure mathematics, we provide a wide range of education focusing on industrial applications. The faculty members mainly belong to the faculty of Mathematics and the Institute of Mathematics for Industry.
The predecessor, the Department of Mathematics, the Faculty of Science at Kyushu University, was founded in 1939, and it became its current form in 2000. On the other hand, the latter was founded in 2011 and is the only research institute in Japan that aims to contribute to the development of industrial mathematics. As a research institute, the Institute of Mathematics for Industry is leading the industrial mathematics of Japan. These two organizations cooperate and develop human resources that can play an active role in society using mathematics.
Student’s Voice
- What is your research about?
- My research area is in dynamical systems theory. More precisely, I study statistical properties of various systems by exploring the corresponding transfer operators and/or constructing suitable tower structure. My main target now is to show exponential mixing rate for the U(1)-extension over a piecewise expanding map on the unit circle (with countable partition). This serves as the first step towards the ultimate goal of establishing a counterpart of the so-called Young towers for flows, which would shed some light on this challenging field. Throughout the preparation of this work, I constantly gained momentum from Tsujii sensei, my doctoral advisor, who has demonstrated to me sincerely the mind and working style of a preeminent mathematician.
- What is an advantage of Kyushu University?
- Fukuoka is one of the most suitable cities to live in across the world and Ito Campus is located in a tranquil part in Fukuoka. The natural environment here is extremely nice. We can go hiking with friends on weekends or visit the seashore and taste fresh seafood. Life in Fukuoka is no doubt an enjoyment!
