Math requires extremely unconventional ideas and logically rigorous
thoughts. That is why some say math is difficult. It may be true.
However, there is “beauty” you can encounter only by going through such
difficulties. There may be a chance for you to encounter beauty hidden
in math and figures you do not usually pay attention to. Come to
Department of Mathematics!
Nowadays, you can “see” and experiment math using computers. You can see
the rough shape of a “fractal set”, a refractory figure appearing in
math, using computers. For example, can you hand-write a curve such that
“you cannot draw a tangent line at any point”? The figure on the right
is called "3D quasi-fuchsian fractals" which are the limit sets of 3D
quasi-fuchsian groups
studied by F. Klein in the nineteenth century.
