Development of mathematical sciences to describe and analyze social issues in which basic principle is unclear
In this research area, mathematicians and researchers applying mathematics form research teams to attack social issues which have been difficult to be solved. Through the problem-attacking process, we expect also the development of mathematics itself. More specifically, targeting the phenomena for which the governing principles and rules have been unclear, by using the abstractness and universality of mathematics as well as knowledge obtained through application, we advance research to derive innovative models based on mathematical ideas to find the hidden essence of them and to develop new mathematical methods to approach them. We include research for proving the validity of the description on the essence of phenomena by old and new mathematical models, as well as building mathematical theories and techniques for evaluating these models. The targets may be found in social, natural, or life phenomena. This may include others if the research aims to create new fields and give solutions to social issues.
In deriving mathematical models and solving issues, we attach importance on interactive communication not just among researchers in different fields of mathematics but also among researchers in applied fields, the experimental sciences, and information sciences. Furthermore, it is expected that derived mathematical models have universality and develop into modeling techniques that can be applied to solve issues in much wider fields.
