Prof. Koichi Hirata explained to us about the details of Japan\u2019s Mathematics history, and Edo period\u2019s and Ehime\u2019s wasan<\/em>. He also taught us calculating skills and formulas of Japan and the west, making it easy to understand by comparing them. We tried out wasan<\/em> using iPod.<\/p>\n

I learned that the history of Mathematics is deep. I was surprised to know that Mathematics was there from the Asuka period because I thought it was created recently. When I heard that book on Mathematics used to be best sellers I thought to myself, \u201cDoes everybody like Mathematics?\u201d. Mathematics is not merely a calculation but benefits us a lot in our daily life. It was also interesting to know about the unexpected history of Mathematics.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t like either elementary school Mathematics or junior high-school Mathematics, and I\u2019m not good at it even now, but I thought wasan<\/em> might be interesting. I thought that it is exactly like Mathematics that even though the way of thinking greatly differs, the same answer comes out. Wasan had a strong entertaining aspect and I want to try it someday and become good at Mathematics.<\/p>\n

Listening to today\u2019s lecture, I learned that Mathematics has a long history and that it is pervasive in our daily lives in many types of forms. Japan wasn\u2019t a leading country in the past, therefore I thought that other countries were more advanced in Mathematics, too. I think it is amazing that Japan was clarifying more ways to calculate than other countries. I learned for the first time that many sangaku<\/em> were devoted to shrines.<\/p>\n
