The lab studies how to turn mathematical phenomena into software, working on the mathematics of computers.

AboutAbout the lab
Mathematics for computers, turning mathematical phenomena into software.
The lab provides education and research in mathematical informatics and numerical analysis, which is the mathematics of computers.
It studies how to implement, as software, the many kinds of mathematical phenomena that arise in the natural sciences, engineering, and information science.
The faculty's specialties include optimization, cryptography, numerical analysis, computer algebra, multivariate analysis, and mathematical modeling.
Most of the faculty belong to the Institute of Mathematics for Industry, and some belong to the Faculty of Mathematics.
Key terms

*Illustrative imageDynamic Programming and Social Mathematics
Associate Professor Akifumi Kira works on the theory and applications of dynamic programming, which efficiently solves problems involving repeated decision-making or uncertainty. Kira also studies social mathematics, the use of mathematics to design fair and widely accepted systems and policies. Technology development in collaboration with people on the ground has included improving passenger satisfaction at Fukuoka Airport and coordinating the allocation of places in daycare centers.
*Illustrative imageMathematical Crystallography, Lattices, and Quadratic Forms
Professor Ryoko Tomiyasu works on creating applications of algebra and number theory and on solving problems in mathematical crystallography. Using tools such as lattices, quadratic forms, and semidefinite programming, Tomiyasu has developed methods for measurement and analysis in crystallography.
