SOPHIA UNIVERSITY A Guide for High School Students 2018-2019
7/40

e reason I applied to the Faculty of Science and Technology was that I was interested in math and science subjects through which I can pursue things in a logical manner and wanted to major in these subjects more professionally at university. At the same time, it is a whole new area that I did not learn until high school. I was also interested in the world’s leading-edge realm of information engineering. is is why I applied to the Department of Information and Communication Sciences. I was attracted to the fact that Sophia University oers “an environment in which humanities and sciences are integrated on the same campus” and “thanks to its small-group guidance and instruction, you can contact professors in a friendly manner.” In addition, to me, it was appealing that the Department of Information and Communication Sciences at Sophia University “allows you to learn the basics of both information engineering and mathematics.” e specialized realm of information engineering can be roughly divided into such four areas: human information science, communications, social information science, and mathematics. I took an interest especially in social information science where I can learn the logics of measuring the degree of optimization of the world.e objective of the majority of education up until high school is to increase the absolute amount of knowledge, but at university, you can not only major in a single specialized eld but also learn about an area that can be directly applied to society as well, which is one of the appealing features. One of the lectures that impressed me in particular was on logistics engineering in the eld of social information science. e lecture was on a company that optimizes logistics ranging from the procurement of necessary raw materials to production and inventory to distribution in the economy through an engineering approach. Observations must be made by unraveling complex and entangled phenomena, which proved dicult, but I was able to learn a rational engineering approach.As I wanted to pursue afresh mathematics that underlies information science in a laboratory, I chose a laboratory specializing in mathematics. Among others, I belong to a lab where we attempt to elucidate the qualities of integers by applying any means possible ranging from algebra to analysis or geometry. In the introduction phase, I dened the concept of ideal and proved, for example, the least common multiple, the greatest common divisor, and the Euclidean algorithm. I will go on to apply this ideal in learning about quadratic reciprocity. e fact that I can shed light on familiar mathematics that I have used casually up until now is one of the appealing points.I want to be involved at the front line of ICT industry to pursue a more convenient life environment for people or to design new lifestyles. Among others, I, as a system engineer, hope to be able to create new values on my own in response to customer requirements, thereby providing convenient technology to as many people as possible. While listening carefully to customers’ voices, I would like to make and propose the optimal products that underpin an auent life by making use of the “extensive knowledge of information engineering,” “mathematical knowledge that underlies information science,” and “the ability to think to build things logically” that I acquired as an FST student at Sophia University. While learning from my predecessors, who already play active roles at the cutting edge of ICT industry, I am contemplating making the most of networks throughout the world and delivering products with which I became involved as items that bring happiness to the world, thereby creating a bright future.Reason for ApplicationLearning at the Faculty of Science and TechnologyIn the laboratory Future visionIn this laboratory, we carry out research on number theory. In addition to the profoundness that lies behind the simple target, i.e., integers, the theory also has the aspects of experimental calculation using a calculator and the basic theories of mathematical technology that underpin the information society; simplicity and profoundness and theory and practice are inextricably linked, which is one of the appealing points. In a mathematical seminar, reading textbooks takes up the majority of time, but thinking until the reason or grounds are claried while dotting every i and crossing every t and giving presentations based on your own understanding is believed to serve as experience that will support you no matter what eld you pursue upon graduation.
