Abstract An extensive survey of attitude towards scientific information of scientists in Japan was conducted in Japan. It was published in a technical report, and this survey is reviewed in this paper, with the hope that this will furnish findings important in working out the plan for promoting exploitation of mathematical talent in biomedical research. Findings are concordant with the impression of foreign visitors: (1) pure mathematicians tend to concentrate on mathematics only; (2) applied mathematics and statistics are heavily oriented toward industry; (3) mathematicians and pharmacologists are very different in their attitudes to scientific information. Based on the personal experience of the author, difficulties to be circumvented in utilizing aptitudes for mathematics and/or statistics in biomedical research are discussed.

These unapproved articles are subject to edit intro Contents Mathematics during the Asuka and Nara periods Wasan during the Edo period How wasan was expressed Types of problems ... notes Higher mathematics in pre-modern Japan , also known as wasan (和算), flourished during the Edo period from the early 17th to the late 19th centuries. It had its origins in the Chinese mathematical texts which were acquired by the Japanese during their invasions of Korea in the late 16th century. In a fairly isolated state, the Japanese mathematicians were able to make brilliant new discoveries in areas rarely attributed to a non-Western scholarship, sometimes outpacing their Western counterparts. Studies of Japanese mathematics were prompted by the introduction of Western mathematics to Japan and the subsequent decline of wasan during the latter half of the 19th century. Despite the steady increase in the number of articles published in Japanese since the 1920s, the subject remained at the backstage because of postwar-Japan’s scientific national policy. This changed in the recent years with the revisionist historians who have sought to contradict the

Gossips and Rumors among Japanese Mathematicians... We thank the speakers and the audiences who attended the workshop NORTh 4 . I have enjoyed every lecture, and the series of lectures given by Professors Manivel and Sommers were just wonderful. Prof. Manivel introduced Vogel 's idea of universal Lie algebra, which seems wild (and at the same time very attractive) to me. There are three lines in the projective plane; on one of which sl_n lives, on another one sp_n and so_n live. On the other line, all the exceptional Lie algebras including so_8 and sl_3 live. Their intersections are sl_2=sp_1 , so_8 and sl_3! Also, between E_7 and E_8, there lives E he told. [Thu Mar 4 14:13:00 JST 2004] The newest issue of Ramanujan Journal is Rankin Memorial Issues.

28. SANGAKU Since 1996 During the Edo period (16031867) Japan was cut off from the western world. But learned poeple of all classes ,from farmers to samurai, produced theorems in Euclidean http://www.wasan.jp/english/index.html

Since 1996 During the Edo period (1603-1867) Japan was cut off from the western world. But learned poeple of all classes ,from farmers to samurai, produced theorems in Euclidean geometry. These theorems appeared as beautifully colored drawings on wooden tablets which were hung under one of the roof in the precincts of a shrine or temple. The tablet was called a SANGAKU which means a mathematics tablet in Japanese. Many skilled geometers dedicated a SANGAKU in order to thank the god for the discovery of a theorem. The proof of the proposed theorem was rarely given. This was interpreted as a challenge to other geometers, "See if you can prove this." In two hundred years, some shrines and temples have been abandoned or destroyed, and the SANGAKU they had no longer exist. But about 820 SANGAKUs have survived , and some of them can be seen in the HOME PAGE. I would like to send some image files of SANGAKUs by the Internet because SANGAKU is one of the customs left only in Japan. References : T.

Please send feedback to csfacts4 at traipse.com October 11, 2006 Pi digg_url = 'http://digg.com/general_sciences/Pi_is_cool'; The number pi is the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. It's approximately equal to 3.14159265, although the digits go on forever. Some mathematicians are obsessed with computing pi to more and more digits. In the year 1610, a German mathematician computed pi to 35 digits. In 1789, a Slovene mathematician computed pi to 140 digits. This was all done by hand, in poorly heated houses. An English amateur mathematician spent 20 years calculating pi to 707 digits, finishing in 1873. 71 years later, it was discovered that he had made a mistake at the 528th digit, and all the digits following it were wrong. In 2002, frantic Japanese mathematicians used a supercomputer to accurately compute pi to 1,241,100,000,000 digits. Based on all this effort, you might assume that it'd be useful to know a trillion digits of pi. However, if you had a circle the size of the observable universe, and you wanted to compute its circumference with an accuracy equal to the size of a proton, the number of digits of pi that you'd need is only 43.

Clark Steven K. Read/Search Full Text CiNii Fulltext PDF - Open Access Webcat Plus Journal/Library Search Abstract One hundred eighteen Japanese professional mathematicians participated in a questionnaire to measure their feelings and attitudes regarding their formal and informal English education. The results demonstrated they felt their English education did not adequately prepare them to undertake research overseas. They were particularly disappointed with their listening and speaking skills. Many respondents felt it necessary to pursue outside studies to increase their oral/aural skills. While they thought their high school English studies were normal, they began to experience a disparity from university, i.e., their English studies were too broad and generalized. They felt they should have had more content based, mathematics related studies. Translation, conversation, hearing, and grammar, in that order, best helped to prepare them for overseas research.
