Chigusa Yamazaki

"Be led by your own curiosity" Math teacher, Inatori High School, Shizuoka Pref.; 1996 graduate

 One of my strongest memories of the University of Tsukuba is life in the student residence halls. Most first year students were living there, and I would get together with my classmates and work on reports through the night. We would think together, and sometimes (or maybe always...) chat, strengthening our friendship. Among my many memories, the most important thing I learned is getting to know the unexpected side of mathematics. I majored in a very special field called "mathematical logic", which most universities don't offer. I am glad I chose Tsukuba University, where I was introduced to this field, and could study encouraged by my own enthusiasm. Because Tsukuba University has departments in many fields, I could also take subjects in other Colleges and majors. I'm sure you will find what you are looking for too. Lastly, I often hear news about the Tsukuba Science City since I graduated. It always makes me feel happy, and somewhat nostalgic.


Kaori Yamazaki

"A satisfying time" Instructor, Institute of Mathematics, University of Tsukuba; 1993 graduate

I was only slightly interested in mathematics when I first joined the College of Natural Sciences. I thought that math would be the subject I wanted to teach if I ever became a teacher, but I didn't know if mathematics was really for me. That is why I chose to go to the College of Natural Sciences, where I could decide my major after entering. The non-science elective subjects I took were mostly about education and psychology, in the College of Human Sciences, and I also did experiments in chemistry, physics, and geoscience. My undergraduate years were a very satisfying time for me, since I was free to study what I wanted, from any field, with confidence. I enjoyed every day. I decided upon graduation to go on to the Master's Program in Education, from where I transferred to the Doctoral Program in Mathematics, and I ended up continuing indulging in my interests for a long time. I'm still not sure if mathematics is right for me, but I can say that I was able to honestly enjoy mathematics and other fields of learning thanks to the College environment.


Yuji Shiramasa

"The perfect stage" NTT corporate sales division; 1992 graduate  

I work as a system integrator at NTT, designing systems for major users (corporations). I studied mathematics at university, and the ability to think logically is very helpful in my job now. Looking back, I think that my days at Tsukuba University were a comfortable period, where I could live according to my own values. I like meeting different people, and I was able to learn much from the many people I met through part-time jobs. I still keep in touch with them, and we get together sometimes to update each other and have fun looking back at the good old days. For me, university was a place to learn the importance of learning in life, and a place that gave me my friends, whom I treasure. The environment at Tsukuba was the perfect stage for me, whether for studying or enjoying life, and I am grateful for the fun university days I spent there.
