What Mathematics Can Do for You

Abstract

After graduating from Azabu Elementary School, I went to Azabu Junior High School. Today it is one of the most prestigious schools in Japan, but this was not yet the case in my childhood. When I was in the seventh and eighth grades, I was a poor student. One day my teacher called me out and said, “How long do you study at home?” I said, “I work hard at school, so I don’t study at home.” At last, he said, “You should study 15 minutes, at least.”
