Truth is not in the infinite beyond our reach. Let's take the plunge and try the unknown.
The rapid progress of natural science in the 20th century has brought mankind numerous benefits, but it has also left not a few negative legacies. In particular, the paradigm shift seen in the theory of relativity and the material impact that computers and quantum mechanics have had on society is immeasurable.
In the 21st century, in order to appropriately return the results of these natural sciences to society, we ourselves must have a correct understanding of this knowledge. This division focuses its education and research on mathematical scientific ideas that have supported the prosperity of the natural sciences, especially the cross-sectional organization of basic knowledge in mathematics, physics, and computer.
As data for the past decade in Japan show, the percentage of women entering the natural sciences has remained flat at just under 15%. We believe that the Graduate School of Science, with the cooperation of other universities, has long been charged with the mission of raising this percentage to a point where it exceeds 50%. To this end, we want to foster researchers with multiple and social perspectives, from home to the workplace, by repeating daily discussions and speculation through the eyes of women, not only on the joys and severity of academia, but also on how to transmit and receive information, and its social significance.
Human Resource Development and Educational and Research Purposes
The Division aims to foster human resources who develop expertise in the fields of mathematics, physics, and computer related to mathematics and physics as female scientists and engineers and who can promote research and development from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.
