Research Themes

Numerical verification of solutions to matrix problems

Numerical calculations performed using calculators are not done accurately. The results of the four basic arithmetic operations are sometimes approximated to a certain decimal place, meaning that infinite operations, including limits, are all approximated to finite operations. In order to obtain correct conclusions from calculation results, error assessments in the results must be carried out to determine the range in which the exact solution lies. Numerical verification is a method for doing this with a calculator. I am interested mainly in research of the establishment of new numerical verification methods for solutions to matrix problems.

Teaching Philosophy

I educate students to challenge themselves to solve problems with unknown solutions in the aim of maturing their fundamental knowledge of mathematics until it is in a “usable state.”
