Research Field
- Visualization of data on the web.
Link
Link
- Visualization of deduction process in math word problems
- Buzz marketing analysis using SNS data.
Current Interests
- After the earthquake disaster in Japan, my most interests are to visualize and keep a record of what happened in Japanese economics fields owing to the quake. Using twitter data, we would like to visualize these things so that even children could understand what happened.
- In my classes of business mathematics, deduction process graphs are used. The graphs are drawn by our developed tool called Solution Plan Graph Generator with the formula database.
- Concerning multi-cultural research, we have started a joint research with a female professor of Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. This research purpose is to spot the differences between Thailand persons and Japanese persons on SNS messages concerning the assistance for reconstruction of Japan.(I am grateful as one Japanese for people in Thailand who were actively engaged in the assistance for reconstruction of Japan.)
- In June 2012, we have published an e-Book of finance mathematics
from O'Reilley Japan.
I am afraid that this e-Book is written in Japanese.
You can execute every Wolfram CDF material in this e-Book which is available with no charge
from the
O'Reilley site.
However the explanations in the CDF materials are written in Japanese.
Then I translated them to English.
I would be grateful if you English readers could enjoy
the English version of the teaching materials which are facilitated with a slider.
