Бакалавр по Прикладной Математике

In every workplace in modern society, there is an increasing demand for expertise in mathematical thinking and computer skills. Our department is strongly committed to offering students instruction and hands-on research training in pure and applied mathematics to meet those demands. We design our curriculum for students to attain expanded knowledge from basics to advanced in each field of mathematics; including, algebra, geometry, analysis, probability theory, statistics, and computer science. We also offer teacher-training programs in mathematics and information technology, with professional support from our faculty members specialized in Japanese secondary education. Every year, about 55% of students receive teaching certificates, and about 15% of them pass the Prefectural Japanese Teaching Staff Examination. The department has its own research library to encourage students’ independent study and an exclusive computer facility for students to get practical training in computer-related courses.

At the end of World War II, with much of Japan lying in ruins from multiple airstrikes and particularly with the hydrogen bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, our founder, Mr. Tsutomu Kake (1923 – 2008) came to the realization that because this country has few natural resources only through education can Japan recover. From that point on and throughout the rest of his life, Mr. Kake had been actively involved in the development of education in Japan.

The spirit espoused by Mr. Kake: "To draw out each and every youth’s abilities to their maximum potential, and to educate individuals to contribute to society as skilled professionals and as members of their communities." He established the Okayama University of Science to combine the ideals of academic thinking and high-mindedness from 1964 to the present day.
