We believe that the Mathematics Division provides a rich environment for studying and researching mathematics, but more importantly, it allows students to conduct research activities of their own problems, solve them, and present their findings to the public. The joy of solving a problem after much thought is priceless, and we hope this will be their experience during their time at Sophia University.
The career paths of graduates of the Master’s Program, including the former Graduate Program in Mathematics, used to be advancement to the Doctoral Program, teaching at junior high/high schools, finance, insurance, etc. However, in recent years, society’s need for experts in mathematics has become greater, so many graduates have been employed in companies in a wide range of industries. In addition, many graduates of Doctoral Program aim to work as researchers and have gained employments at universities, the National Institute of Technology, and other institutions throughout Japan.
Curriculum
The Mathematics Division provides instruction with the “Mathematics Seminar” as the center of education and research. At the start of the seminar, each graduate student reads and presents a basic research paper or a technical book. However, once they decide their own research theme, they present the progress and results of their research. During this process, students also receive research guidance from their academic supervisors or faculty members, thus providing an important opportunity for students who are aiming to complete their thesis. In addition, students study specialized topics through lecture courses. This enables the students to link the basic mathematics learned in undergraduate courses with current cutting-edge research, making it possible for them to apply it to their own studies.
