This department is concerned with the broad discipline of mathematics and mathematics education, whose details are as follows:

1. Algebra and Geometry (linear algebra, number theory, group theory, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, topology)

2. Analysis and Applied Mathematics (set theory, functions of real and complex variables, linear and 　nonlinear analysis, probability and statistics, mathematical programming)

3. Mathematics Education (teaching methodology of mathematics, mathematical thinking)

 This course includes a mathematics course for secondary school teachers. General and fundamental subjects in mathematics are taught in the earlier years, and professional studies are mostly taught in the later years. In addition to traditional lectures, lessons are conducted through small group seminars, workshops, and numerical experiments using personal computers or workstations connected to the computer system in the information processing center. The graduates of this department are expected to work as teachers.
