In modern society, where people face highly complicated problems that cannot be understood by intuition, human resources who can, using mathematical science by which principles governing things or structures can be discovered, create new values in nature, society and human beings and bring about major changes (innovation) are required. The School of Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences has adopted “the creation, development, and transmission of mathematical science that contributes to society” as its philosophy, and sets as its goal the fostering of human resources who have a wide range of interests and healthy social common sense, and can work on an international level by dealing with various problems in modern society using the knowledge and skills of mathematics and information, which are universal and powerful tools. To accomplish the philosophy and goal described above, the following types of students are welcomed.
1. students who have an awareness of their own missions and roles, keeping their eye on the world based on our guiding principles, “Rights and Liberty, Independence and Self-government,” and can, cooperating and living in harmony with other people, establish their own individuality;
2. vigorous students who have a wide range of interests in phenomena in societies and nature and are motivated to tackle exploration of mathematical science; and
3. students who take a proactive stance toward relationships with others and are motivated to create new concepts and values that can bring about richness to human beings and societies.
