International Panel on Policy and Practice in Mathematics Education: 2001 Report Issue 4: Tradition and Reform in Mathematics Education How does your country handle the balance between tradition and reform in mathematics education? What do tradition and reform mean within your mathematics education system? Japan: Yoshihiko Hashimoto and Miho Ueno Opening Statements Yoshihiko Hashimoto Yokohama National University Changes in mathematics education are currently taking place in Japan. The school week is changing from six days to five days per week to allow children to develop "competency for positive living." Changes in Japan seem to occur approximately every ten years, although the mathematics content over the last 30 years has been relatively stable. Reform is based on tradition and varies according to the times. Since 1994, Japan has had a "core and optional modules" model for upper secondary school mathematics. An overall objective of the entire curriculum is to foster students' abilities to think mathematically. "Open" methods of teaching - open process, using different ways to solve a problem; open-ended where problems have multiple correct answers; and open problem formulation where students pose new mathematical problems can help meet this objective. Traditionally, one important feature of learning mathematics was to develop the ability to calculate rapidly. Miho Ueno Tokyo Gakugei University Senior High School The goal of mathematics education might be seen as learning the basic idea of calculus by the time students graduate from high school. Beginning calculus is taken by 82 percent of high school students in a traditional mathematics program. It is often difficult to implement a new course of study due to factors such as a lack of teachers in a small school system, which limits the courses offered to those needed for college entrance, or to a lack of technology. Thus, the intended curriculum may not get implemented.

PUBLICATIONS Japanese Migration and the Americas: An Introduction to the Study of Migration Full Unit Published 1999 Grade Range: Secondary Pages: 89 pages/9 activities Includes: Audiotape Price: Add to cart Proceed to checkout Migration is a social phenomenon that has affected the lives of all of the students in our classrooms either directly or indirectly. Tales of population movements have become a shared part of our global heritage throughout history and will inevitably remain a valuable magnifying glass through which we can better understand interactions between the United States and other nations, racial and ethnic groups, and diverse cultures. People migrate for diverse reasons. One approach to the study of migration argues that individuals are influenced by a number of "push-pull" factors, which encourage them to leave their place of origin while simultaneously pulling them toward a new destination. Although the push-pull framework can explain many types of migrations, it cannot explain all of the reasons people choose to migrate to a specific city, region, or country. This curriculum module introduces students to the study of migration, including a brief overview of some categories of migration and reasons why people migrate. In this introductory study, the Japanese migration experience in the Americas is used as a case study. Students will be introduced to categories of migration such as rural-urban migration, urban-urban migration, cyclical migration, forced migration, return migration, remigration, and U-turn migration. Case studies of migration will be drawn from the Japanese experience in the United States, Peru, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. A brief history of the Japanese experience in each of these countries will be presented to students, and students will engage in small group activities that focus on a migration-related event. These activities are structured around the theory of multiple intelligences.

JJM will publish research survey articles of high quality from 2006. We intend to have articles giving new insight on a certain topic of recent interest from a broad perspective for a wide range of mathematicians beyond a small circle of specialists. Clear exposition on important results and ideas is necessary. A mere research summary of one's own results is not appropriate for this journal. Each submission will be refereed. An instruction for a submission will soon appear here. JJM has been publishing articles recommended by fourteen supporting journals in Japan, but this system will be over at the end of 2005, after publishing the articles we have already received. We do not accept this type of papers any more.

Masahiko Fujiwara From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Masahiko Fujiwara (b. ) is a Japanese mathematician , who is best known as an essayist . He comes from a literary family: his father was the popular author Nitta Jiro He began writing after a two-year position at an American university, with a book designed to explain American campus life to Japanese people. He also wrote about about Cambridge , after a year's visit. In a popular book on mathematics, he categorized theorems as beautiful theorems or ugly theorems. He is known also in Japan for speaking out against government reforms in secondary education. As a mathematician, he was a student of Kunihiko Kodaira , and a professor at Ochanomizu University . His major work is on Diophantine equations He also has a credit from elementary number theory for proving a theorem called Fujiwara's theorem. Certain numbers, when their digits are added together, produce a number which — when multiplied by its reversed self — yields the original number. 1729 can be used as an example: 1 + 7 + 2 + 9 = 19 Fujiwara proved that the only natural numbers to exhibit this property are 1, 81, 1458 and 1729.

Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras at Cardiff People and Overview of the Group People Professor David E. Evans Dr Roger Behrend Dr Alessandra Agostini Dr Partha Sarathy Chakraborty Mr Mathew Pugh Professor George A. Elliott (Honorary Professor) Professor Vaughan F. R. Jones (Honorary Professor) Professor John T. Lewis (Honorary Professor) Overview of the Group The group is led by David Evans and has a broad sweep of interests in operator algebras, noncommutative geometry and their applications and connections to other mathematical areas and physics—including K-theory, E-theory, quantum groups in pure mathematics and statistical mechanics, algebraic, conformal, topological quantum field theories in mathematical and theoretical physics. David Evans has published with Yasuyuki Kawahigashi a monograph Quantum Symmetries on Operator Algebras —the combinatorial and physical aspects of operator algebras (see here for the list of updates/corrections). This is a continuation of the work of Evans in his previous collaborations with Araki and Lewis on a C*-algebra approach to phase transitions in the two-dimensional Ising model. Evans is also currently interested in the study of amenable C*-algebras by K- theoretic or topological invariants, e.g. the expression of finite amenable simple C*- algebras as the inductive limit of simpler building blocks - Elliott and Evans expressed the irrational rotation algebras as inductive limits of circle algebras. There is much interchange of ideas from amenable subfactors and amenable C*-algebras in this work (e.g. through common ideas from orbifolds and Rokhlin properties of automorphisms).
