Carl Friedrich Gauss
(1777$B!](B1855$B!K(BThe greatest mathematician in the first half of the 19th century. It is said that his discovery that the regular 17-gon was constructible by ruler and compass led him to specialize in mathematics. His significant achievements can be seen in the fields of number theory, mathematical analysis, geometry, and applied mathematics.

David Hilbert
(1862$B!](B1943$B!K(BThe greatest mathematician of the 20th century. Noted for his fine achievements in algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory, mathematical analysis, and foundations of mathematics. His 23 problems presented at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris have had a decisive influence on the development of mathematics ever since.

$B!!(BThe mathematics that you learn in Years 1 and 2 is a warm-up for Years 3 and 4. The lectures in the first two years are for all students of the College of Natural Sciences, called specialized basic subjects, and are a step before the more specialized subjects. You will cover the three categories of calculus, linear algebra, set theory and topology. Year 3 will be the first step in modern mathematics, with lectures in algebra, geometry, and analysis. From the third semester of Year 3, you will begin your preparatory research for the graduation research project, preceding your Year 4 seminar classes. This is when you begin to discover learning not only through lectures and exercise courses, but also by reading papers and books to get a better understanding in your field of interest. It will be one of the most satisfying times as a mathematics major.

$B!!(BIn Year 4, lectures go deeper into the basic theories taught in Year 3, which are combined with more specialized courses. These include function space, Lie group theory, Riemann surface theory, ordinary differential equations, mathematical logic, probability theory, mathematical statistics, and computer mathematics. Students not only learn theories in pure mathematics but also gain a wider perspective in applied mathematics. In Year 4, all students will be working on their graduation theses. There are several seminar groups, and students join one according to their interest. This seminar is the place to present progress of research projects and have discussions with your tutor. It will provide you with a satisfaction different from the ordinary lectures.
