“What is irrational about irrational numbers? – Michihata Company’s claims and chats” (Author: Michihata Company) Contents of this book A message from a unique active high school math teacher who has completed a 100km marathon and has passed the Pre-1st grade of the Chinese proficiency test “What is irrational about irrational numbers?” – How many people who have studied mathematics in Japanese can accurately answer this question? In this book, the author focuses on the “mistranslations” lurking in Japan’s mathematics education, and reveals how serious their effects are. What kind of influence has the project of translating Western mathematics into Japanese, which began in the Meiji period, had on those who have studied mathematics in Japanese, and how big a misunderstanding have been caused by mistranslations? We will explore the background of the term and guide you to the correct understanding. You will be surprised by the surprising facts hidden behind mathematical terms that you have taken for granted until now. Fun for everyone from students to adults! It is written for a wide range of readers, from students who are not good at math, to adults who are worried about their children’s questions, to current teachers. The author’s light speaking style and sharp insights will make the formal topics of mathematics feel more familiar all at once. From the simple question of “Now that I think about it, what are irrational numbers?”, I will reveal one of the reasons why I was not good at “square roots, functions, absolute values, and contrarian methods”. This book is more than just a math guide. Rediscover the charm of mathematics while digging up your memories from your school days, without any complicated theory! You will be surprised and convinced, “Is that what mathematics is all about?” Rediscovering the original power of mathematics may provide an opportunity to reconsider the “significance of learning.” Author biography Michihata Company Born in 1966 in Yamashina Ward, Kyoto City 1989 Graduated from Kyoto University of Education, Faculty of Education, Department of Mathematics After retiring from Kyoto Prefectural Mineyama High School Yasaka Branch after 2 years, worked at Kyoto Seisho High School At Kyoto Seisho High School, he serves as grade leader, vice principal, and vice principal.
