Specialized Field	Mathematics (Probability Theory) Mathematics Education
Research theme	1. Stochastic processes and stochastic differential equations 2. Use of familiar teaching materials in arithmetic and mathematics education 3. Mathematics education and educational support in developing countries 4. Mathematics education curriculum in Wasan during the Edo period
research content	I have been conducting research on the theory of stochastic processes and stochastic differential equations that describe uncertain phenomena. In addition, from his experience in international support activities for science and mathematics education in Cambodia (1999-), he has considered various mathematics education issues faced by developing countries.
Research and Education Policy	Unfortunately, current arithmetic and mathematics education is largely detached from everyday life. By gaining a deeper understanding of the impact mathematics has on everyday life and, conversely, pursuing mathematics education that makes better use of the materials around us, we can make mathematics education more active. I would like to make this a major theme in my graduate school education as well. In addition, although the curriculum guidelines currently undergo changes every ten years, I would like to research the educational programs for Japanese mathematics during the Edo period, a time when the school boasted a unique culture, and use this information in curriculum development.
Message	Although the methods for elementary school arithmetic education are now considered to be almost completely established, there is still a lot of room for theoretical development. By looking at it from a broad perspective, I hope to open up new prospects for arithmetic and mathematics education that is easier to understand and more interesting.
