My Message to Students

• Thank you very much for your messages. Sorry that I could not respond to each of your messages directly. I will write my response to each of your quiz messages.
• I am glad to read your high expectation of this course. Mathematics is truly an awesome subject, and I am sure you can enjoy it if you keep an open mind and do not give up. My task is to introduce mathematics by trying to minimize your fear that may come from your experiences in the past.
• As I told you in class, I want you to meet your classmates through these messages. You can see the statistical result as The Result of Research Test. It is wonderful to have the people with the variety of background and different motives. I hope we can share thoughts on various topics on this homepage.
• This course is not a remedial. Although we review so-called high school mathematics when we need, I want to present college mathematics. Because of the diversity of backgrounds, some may wonder that most of the other students have already studied the subject, but it is not the case. Let us concentrate on learning something new, trying to understand what is in front of us. I also hope that you use this chance to consider the meaning of mathematics you invested much time in high school.
• This course is not for students of science major. However, under our current system, there is not a way to limit student enrollment. So I ask students who have already taken foundation courses in mathematics to make an extra effort to learn something new and deepen your understanding through this course.
• Training mathematical or logical thinking is one of the purposes of this course. Learning applications of Mathematics is another. I am not sure how much time I can spend on applications; I hope you find a chance to think about applications of the subject we study in this course, mainly when you write a short paper.
• It is my third time to teach a General Education course in English. My English is far from perfect, but I hope you enjoy mathematics with me and others in this class.
• Let us enjoy Mathematics together. I hope you will see the power and beauty of it in this course.

My Mesage to Students

• Thank you very much for sharing your dream. We also had many beautiful messages with DO NOT POST. That is just fine, as the dream may not be something we share in public. But I also would like to focus on developing a good relationship with you so that we can share our life.
• I cannot express the difference between vision and dream, and you may not have a particular dream you can state in words. But still to live vividly is somewhat related to growing, and growing has something to do with what you long for. When I was young, I was thinking how I would contribute to the world. Since I traveled to South East Asia by a cargo boat for 53 days when I was a high school student, I had a dream to serve the people in Asia as an engineer. I did not become an engineer, but I had chances to teach math in the Philippines and China, and lead students to Thai Work Camp. I am now at Service Learning Center to send students to Asian countries for service-learning. I will be retiring at the end of this academic year, but I still have a dream and vision of serving the people in Asia that installed in me many many years ago.
• Do you know that Dr. Hachiro Yuasa, the first president of ICU often quoted "Where there is no vision, the people perish" from Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)? In the first ICU Bulletin, he and the founders of ICU wrote: "Founded through international cooperation, this new University seeks to vindicate the possibilities of a world community by realizing on its campus an international community that will be a laboratory in international culture and understanding." I do not know if it is still the vision of ICU, but unless there was no such vision, International Christian University did not exist.
• Since we are studying mathematics, let me write about the consistency, which is key to logical and mathematical thinking. As a mathematician, I always keep in mind the consistency in logic. You will be living in the world 25 years from now. So even if you cannot change the world completely, you are still interconnected with the community you live in which is a part of the world. How would you contribute to the people around you? It is a reciprocal relationship, and you cannot ignore it.
• What is your dream? How would you live in the world 25 years from now?

My Mesage to Students

• Thank you very much for sharing what is most precious to you. It is great to know that family and friends are most valuable to many of your life.
• Have you thought about what is most valuable to those who are precious to you? How do you express your gratitude and tell them that they are so precious to your life? I think one of the ways is to respect what is valuable to them. In that way, you may "rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn," and connect yourself to another individual. You may be able to expand your world by respecting those who are precious to your beloved. It is to welcome one another.
• What is most precious to me? Is it mathematics? Yes, I cannot talk about my life without mathematics. I am impressed by its beautiful theory, and I am excited to discover the secret of it. At the same time, I also became humble as I made lots of mistakes and I was corrected, and I had to admit that what I have learned and found is extremely limited when I discovered something new. Mathematics is a unique or the only subject that we can experience that we have the everlasting truth. But at the same time, among the mathematical theories, there is nothing directly applicable to the real world as it requires strong suppositions and specifies logic. Thus it teaches us logical flaws and insufficiency of the hypothesis when we talk about the problems in our real world, and we can convince ourselves that nobody is right, and it is impossible to claim something is right.
• I like learning as I can grow. So, I would say that learning is most precious to me. I am now serving at Service Learning Center. I believe that service-learning is a beautiful way of learning. It can connect us to the people and the world, and we can learn ways to share our lives. I have learned a lot in my life, but there is something we can learn only through serving. It may be because only with a service we can genuinely connect with others and share a life.
• "Through Serving", ICU Faculty and Staff Christmas message delivered at ICU Chapel on December 16, 2017.

My Mesage to Students

• I am grateful for your messages on something that made you rejoice, sad or angry, or you are thankful for recently. Please visit similar columns in the World of Mathematics homepage.
• Some of you returned home or traveled during the holidays and had a precious moment with your family and friends. Some will attend Seijin-Shiki, the celebration of young adults in their hometown meeting old friends living separately. It is great to have a reunion with schoolmates after experiencing challenges in the different world.
• I am afraid that Mathematics seems to make some of you sad, but I am glad that others understood the contents by themselves or through the help of others. I sincerely wish that it gives intellectual excitement and enjoy it as well.
• You feel something because you are living actively. I also believe that our life may be more prosperous if we share our experiences with others and if we are with those who are struggling. Even if you do not have a solution to a problem, you may be relieved if you have a friend listening to you. It is lovely if you rejoice, become sad or get angry with others as it is to share your life. Be thankful by thinking of those who are supporting you.

My Mesage to Students

• Thank you very much for your messages. The topic is "What kind of adult is admirable? What is admirable about children?" These are not parallel for adults and children. Please visit similar columns in The World of Mathematics homepage.
• The first part of the question may be related to your self-image in the future. Please consider the way you would be such a person.
• Do you have chances to play with children regularly? Most of you were a child several years ago; it is easy to lose time with children. But I think it is essential to remember about children and how you felt when you were a child throughout your life.
• The mission statement of UNICEF reads "UNICEF insists that the survival, protection and development of children are universal development imperatives that are integral to human progress." (UNICEF's Mission Statement)
• Do you agree? I am a board member of Nozomi-no-ie, a children's home on Tenmondai-Dori near Musashi-Sakai. We have a volunteer team of ICU students joint with Japan Lutheran College serving as study volunteer every Friday. If you are interested in helping as a volunteer, please let me know. I believe you will have a great experience.

62. I believe the key is strengthening student's knowledge of the outside world through education among a diverse body of people.
63. I think compassion is important to nurture trustworthy person.
64. I believe courage, curiosity, determination, and passion are the key to be a good global citizen. Being independent is also important.
65. I think the first thing ICU has to do is to connect the April students with the September students, because I feel that most April students only communicate with themselves. This makes them less "global". In fact, it makes them look like they are still only in Japan, if you got what I mean.

My Mesage to Students

• I chose this topic in 2015 as ICU was selected as a Top Global University Project of MEXT スーパーグローバル大学創成支援 (Type B), and the copy of ICU contained the phrase "trustworthy global citizens." It was also the discussion topic at the new student retreat in May 2016. I enjoyed reading your messages based on your considerations and experiences. Thank you very much.
• Humbleness, openness, without bias, respect, listening to others, understanding differences, education, critical thinking, honesty to express yourself. Many keys appeared in your messages.
• In Japanese, shinraisareru is a right word, but I found that it did not appeal to international faculty. The phrase "responsible global citizen" which ICU used in AY2002 appealed well but not "trustworthy global citizen." In the western world, trusting yourself is the first step, and trusting others does not come first. I do not want to understand it as a cultural difference. I like 'trust,' especially in education. Unless we do trust others, we cannot learn from them because we learn what we do not know. If you have your opinion on this, please write it to me.
• I like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As you know, Article 1 is "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood." I do not know whether this is the key, but it is lovely if we can agree on this statement. To act toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood, being trustworthy world citizen is honored.
• I am appointed the director of Service Learning Center last spring. In the academic year 2017, forty-four of our students engaged in service-learning during the summer recess. Many confessed that they are not sure they successfully contributed to the people or a community and that they are often helped by the people they are supposed to do so instead. However, the people trusted them, and our students had chances to listen to what is in their heart. It is an experience no travelers may have. Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen states that “Fixing and helping create a distance between people, but we cannot serve at a distance. We can only serve that to which we are profoundly connected.” (Helping, Fixing or Serving?) Through serving or by serving one another we may be able to create the mutual trust to make peace among people.
• I believe it is necessary to nurture students so that they may question what is happening around the world, and that they take their own action to figure out the answer or solution.
• 日々の小さなことを疎かにしないこと。挨拶や、ゴミの分別や片付け。

QUIZ6 : To liberalize your thinking, to believe and to love.
自由に思考すること・信じること・愛することについて。

1. 思いつきません…
2. In order to believe and love, it is important to have trust in humanity!
3. どれも一人ではできない。think, believe, love, 全て人/物など対象があってするものだと思う。
4. 私達のもつ権利
5. 全ての人がその権利をもつべきだと思います。
6. It's the basic and the most important right of human.
7. 自由に思考することは不可能。人間は必ず自らの文化や社会にとらわれる。
8. 自由にそれらをするって、できてるようでできてない。
9. 誰でもいつでもどこにいても、できること。一度考え始めると答えがなくてずっと考えてしまう。でも楽しい。
10. 周りの影響があるにせよ自分がもったものを大切にする。
11. 今回の範囲は、友人の助けも借りながら問題を解けるよう努力はしたのだが、数IAしかやっていない身には難しかった。
    私自身、思考も信じることもかなりフリーダムだと思う。例えば、キリスト教の生まれだし洗礼もうけているが日本の神々も信じて（畏敬して？）いる。これは育った環境もあるだろう。
12. 全て自由であるべきだと思います。
13. It seems we human think that these three values are precious in recent history. I guess these three are difficult to accomplish, but the wide knowledge of logic and ethics would help people to succeed doing them.
14. 近年、自由に思考することにせいげんされていると感じる。特に幼少期の好奇心がつぶされている。
15. We can't liberate our thinking, believe and love without to be liberated our thinking, be believed, and be loved by someone.
16. 今この瞬間は1つのことしか考えられないし、沢山選択肢があっても選べるのは1つ。そのつみ重ねなのだと思う。
17. 自分自身と対話すること。そのことによって”自分”が形成されていく。
18. 自分を自由にすること。
19. 非常に大切である。
20. I think that doing this is the happiest of everything.
21. I think to believe and to love is free.
22. ムズカシイー
    けどちょっと楽しいです。
23. I agree, however only to an extent.
24. I think it's always important to love yourself in order to do all of the things stated above.
25. I believe that people should be given the right to believe and love as the ability to freely believe or to think correlates to one's well-being. It is not important to listen to what should be believed but to accept and love what your beliefs are.
26. biasの中で僕たちは真の自由を得れるだろうか。
27. 例え自由に考えたり信じたり愛したり、心の中で思うことはできても、そのことに罪悪感を感じてしまうような環境にいたら、それは本当の意味で自由なのではないと思います。
28. 自由に思考することは人間の特権だと思います。
29. それらをすることができることが幸せなのかと感じます。日本ではほとんどの人々が当たり前のようにしているが世界で見るとできないところもあるから。
30. 信じるということは同時に疑い続けることでもあると思う。そのbeliefが絶対的な事実であるのなら、それは事実を信じているのではなく「知っている」。物事を信じるというのはそのbeliefが不確かであることを知っているということなのかなと思う。
31. とても難しいけど、人間にとって、やらなくてはいけないこと。”自由に”というのは、何かに影響されつづけている私たちにはとても難しいが、それによってさらなる進歩ができたり、新しいことを発見できる。
32. Difficult to do and learn, yet essential.
33. Be tolerant of people from different cultures!
34. The first thing that came to mind was that these three things are what humans are free of, but tends to be restricted by the society. Nothing is free and it is hard to define what they are and depends on each individual.
35. Loving and liberating one's thinking are interconnected.
36. I think it's true. For example, if you can't love yourself, you can't have wider view and accept new things or perspectives.
37. Although I believe many people want this, especially in today's society, many countries have laws and/or social norms that prevent people from having this freedom.
38. Liberal thought is a way to love yourself. To be able to think freely is very tough especially in this era of social media where almost every article is able to influence our thoughts. We always look for ways to love people, or how to love others; but we should always remember to love ourselves first. How can we love others if we cannot love ourself?
39. 自由に思考するには、経験と、知識と意志が必要。
40. 自由に思考することも、信じることも、愛することも、すべての人に等しくゆるされていることだと思いますが、それを実際にすべて認めると、秩序が必要になるのが難しいですね。

My Mesage to Students

• Thank you very much for your messages. It is a part related to C of ICU. C is in between I and U at the center, but I also hear a question "Is C necessary for I and U of ICU?", and some ask “Wouldn't religious beliefs hinder the liberation of values?” and “Wouldn't liberal arts still stand without God?" There is another question. It is excellent to liberate thinking but for what? Is liberation the goal? It is to raise these issues and for me to deliberate them.
• At ICU, liberating your thinking is to free ourselves from various preconceptions and fixed ideas, thus releasing and opening up any closed, exclusive, or mean values in the end. It can be expressed by 'critical thinking,' but I prefer not to use this term as each has a different thought on it. It is also related to Shutaiteki Manabi (in Japanese), or active or responsible learner. I am afraid we again encounter a language problem. Sharing these concepts in one language is tough.
• The second is to believe. Even if to liberate your thinking is a key for you to become an active learner, you cannot learn anything if you do not have a trust, or unless you believe something. To believe is not to give up yourself, only a responsible person can trust.
• The third is to love. It is related to 'for what' the purpose of liberating your thinking and active learning.

My Mesage to Students

• Thank you very much for your messages. It is a part connected to U of ICU. I phrased in this way because learning is in the human history. We can learn something because someone passed them on to others. If we also have a function to pass something cherished on to the next generation, we should be a responsible learner. Some may add something to what they have received, and others use or apply what they learned to help others. There are many ways to pass on what we learn from others.
• I study mathematics and teach it. I create new results and publish academic papers. But I know that essential parts are what I learned, and I cannot say that they are entirely new. What I can do is to add or improve a little to a top of a mountain. "If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants." (I. Newton and others) As we study, we become humble in many ways. When I am fortunate to open a closed door, what I can see is a new view with many more closed doors.
• It is OK to learn what you get interested. But I believe it is worth thinking about this question. For what do we study? What do we pass on to the next generation? I pray that you may learn something precious throughout your life.

    (B)English use sometimes make it difficult to learn the materials since that's unfamiliar.
21. (A)おもしろかった。
    (B)無駄なディスカッションが多く、もっと知識が身につく「講義」をも重視した方がいい。
22. (A)私は数IIBまでやったのですが受験で使わなかったので忘れていて、なかなか解けませんでした…。それでも数学を解いて解けた時の達成感はこの授業を通じて味わえたと思います。
    (B)
23. (A)日本語で受けたかったです!!
    (B)
24. (A)数学弱者にとってはかなりきつかった。母語ではない言語で苦手分野について学ぶのはおもしろかった。
    (B)
25. (A)高校以来の数学であったが、1つ1つの繋がりが分かりやすく展開されていたのでよく理解できた。しかし、基礎レベルと考えると少し苦しかった。
    (B)学部レベルには到達できなくても授業全般のレベルが上がることを希望する。なぜならその分野を知れたというレベルには達しないからだ。
26. (A)数学に関する英単語を全然知らなかったため、勉強に時間がかかった。
    (B)リベラルアーツでなければ数学の授業はとらなかった。いい経験になった。
27. (A)スライドをすべてMoodleにアップしてくれていたので、復習がやりやすかった。
    (B)私は文系で、高校2年生以来数学には触れて少し大変なことが多かった反面、解ける問題が増えた時は、とてもうれしかったです。文理のかきねを越えて学べるのがICUの魅力だと思います。
28. (A)
    (B)高校の時、数学にとても苦労していたのが少しトラウマになっていましたが、ちゃんと1つ1つゆっくりやればできるということが分かり自信になりました。これから、プログラミングや統計で数学が出てきてもおじけずにとりくんでみたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。
29. (A)1限の時間で大変でした。お昼ごろがよいです。
    (B)ICUの教育理念。なんのためにICUはできたのかをすべてのICU生にしっかりと確実に教えてほしいと思います。
30. (A)途中式をもっと詳しく解説してほしかった。
    (B)
31. (A)
    (B)文系だった人が理系科目を選択しやすいしくみにはなっているが、高校で理系だった人が入学してすぐに（ELA等とのかねあいで）取ることのできる理系の授業はいずれも簡単であり、物足りない。2年次にとった理系の授業は高校の復習のような内容も多いが、2年次なので高校の内容も多くを忘れてしまっていて、高校での積み重ねの上に直接大学でのハイレベルな学びを重ねられないのが残念（特に生物）
32. (A)Thank you
    (B)good
33. (A)it had been a while since I had done math so it was fun
    (B)I hope there were more N1, since the requirement for "N" subjects are 6単位. I feel like there should be more selection of class.
34. (A)I think I want Japanese lesson paper. This is because I can't understand the word of mathematics sometimes. So, I want Japanese lesson paper.
    (B)Nothing.
35. (A)特に無し。
    (B)グレードを取る難易度がまばら過ぎて、学びたいこと (A)I need more explanation about applications of matrices.
    (B)
36. (A)There is no need on improvements.
    (B)I went to your last lecture, and you talked about increasing the number of courses taught in English. I agree on this because I as a returnee struggle learning a topic in Japanese. Also, by increasing the courses taught in English, the speciality words in English can be taught and I think this is good so that graduates from ICU can go into the world and communicate in English.
37. (A)for improvement, it would be nice if the example questions in the handouts had answers to them so we would be able to check our answers.
    (B)About the English and Japanese system, sometimes I would take a E course ending up to realize that handouts and lectures were more heavy on Japanese which makes it slightly upsetting. I hope there is more English courses to help.
38. (A)日本語の資料がもう少し欲しかったです。
    (B)能動的な授業が多く、頭が他の生徒より切れにくい私にとって、新鮮な発見が毎日あり、とても楽しいです。そして、課題が多いので、タイムマネジメントの重要性を身に沁みて感じました。
39. (A)
    (B)大学で数学を習うの初めてでした。とても楽しかったです、ありがとうございます。ICUで時間を有効に使う授業は、これが初めてです。様々なレベルに合うようにしてできていたのもすごかったです。数学の授業をもっと取れないのが残念です。
40. (A)日本語でも開講して欲しいです。
    (B)実学の分野もあっても良いのでは？-デザイン
41. (A)最初の方に学んだことが、後の方の単元で繋がっていたりして面白かったです。久しぶりの数学で忘れていることも多かったですが、苦しさの中の楽しさも久しぶりに味わうことができました。
    (B)日本で数少ないリベラルアーツですが、メジャー要件などがあり若干縛られてしまう部分も実際あるような気がします。
42. (A)Well supportive
    (B)There are a lot of interesting classes, but they are too "global" in my opinion. Japan studies should be encouraged more.
43. (A)数学苦手だったけど、なんとかやり遂げました！先生の授業難しかったけど取って良かったです。
    (B)
44. (A)数学に触れてなかったのでとても辛かったです。授業の復習がおいつきませんでした。
    (B)Nがとても厳しいものがあります。
45. (A)授業のスピードが異常に早い。
    (B)あまり、Nの科目は取りたくないが、周りの人たちからはうらやましがられるので良いと思う。この授業は難しすぎると思う。
46. (A)I got to learn how to solve something using different methods so knowing how to solve it in many ways was interesting and I feel like my knowledge on these concepts improved.
    (B)This course to me was one of the best but hardest courses I've taken so far. The quizzes actually helped me study for the final exams and I found the grading system very reasonable. Though this course tested beyond my knowledge from high school, I feel like it will benefit me in many ways in the future.
47. (A)
    (B)I enjoy math a lot and am interested in majoring math in ICU.
48. (A)ありがとうございました。
    (B)
49. (A)The materials we covered in class was difficult and sometimes hard to understand. It would be better if the small stemps are written on the handouts.
    (B)The educational system in ICU is wonderful and I like to learn in this university. If the students between April and September had more opportunity and environment that both can interact, it will definitely be better and favoured.
50. (A)This class was so hard, it was the hardest class that I had ever took.
    (B)特になし。
51. (A)
    (B)I enjoyed this class.
52. (A)It was a challenging class, but I think it was helpful for reviewing my high school math.
    (B)
53. (A)I think for many people, the math concepts are quite hard to understand, especially when we never learned about it before. I think the class is great, but sometimes the solutions of the quiz lack thorough explanation. Math made me suffer quite a lot, but it's always nice to challenge your own limits.

My Mesage to Students

• Thank you very much for your message. I will write my review of this course in About This Course. Please read if you are interested in it.
• I am encouraged by your positive comments. What I can teach in class is very limited, and active learning is the key to everything. However, I also believe that I have a lot of contents to show you in class. As a result, I have to depend on review and active learning outside of class. Since there are many ways to study courses, I provide various information in Moodle. So it is a natural consequence to develop contents in Moodle.
• I knew that this course was too tough to some. Although I designed the class so that it is possible to pass by some efforts, I knew that to enjoy the contents is entirely different. Sorry. I should have spent more time on supporting struggling students.
• Honestly speaking, it's hard for me to write comments on this column in English. If you want to read my responses on topics in these columns, please read them in the other years', though they are in Japanese.
• But as I struggle with writing here, I could learn efforts and time spent by April students in essay writing in English for Liberal Arts (ELA) and other courses. At the same time, I learned a lot about the difficulties of September students when they decide to register classes.
• The idea is excellent to create classrooms September and April students studying, where some of the classes are in English, some in Japanese. However, currently, the percentage of English courses are less than 30%. It is not fair, and April students cannot have a chance to polish further their skills they started to develop in ELA. I will teach more courses in English though I will soon retire.
• I am very thankful that we shared this term together by leaning Mathematics in English.
