Science education should be mandatory in university education
In my view, the prosperity of IT in India and China is superficial. It all boils down to the absence of any Fields Medal winners in the mathematics that underlies computers in these two countries.
When I told a Japanese blog friend about this, he replied, "No, Indians have produced presidents of MS and Google, and SEs who graduated from Indian Institutes of Technology are highly paid." However, I had written to him in advance as a premise that "India is inferior mathematically, not in terms of economic success," but he ignored it.
So I compared Ramanujan, a leading mathematician from India, and Galois from France, and wrote that there was a huge gap between the two in their achievements, and that Ramanujan was far inferior. He didn't listen to the logic, moved on to other problems, and fled.
He is a graduate of the private Keio University, which is said to be an excellent university in Japan, and is a liberal arts major. As a common practice of this kind of student, they only trust what they hear and their ears, and do not try to think for themselves. Such graduates will only cause harm to the world.
Science courses should definitely be included in university education. A liberal arts-only education is 'harmful and useless'.

大学教育は、理科系教育を必須とすべし
私は、インド、中国のITの隆盛は、表面的なものだと見ている。コンピュータの基礎になる数学において、この両国にはフィールズ賞受賞者が皆無であることがすべてを語っている。
さて私は日本のブログ友に、この話をしたが、「いや、インド人はMSやグーグルの社長を輩出し、インドの工科大学卒業のSEは高給取りだ」と返した。もっとも、私は前提として「経済的な成功ではなく、数学的に見て、インドが劣っている」と彼には予め書いたのだが、彼は無視した。
そこで私はインドの代表的な数学者:ラマヌジャンと、フランスのガロアを比較し、両者はその業績において雲泥の差があり、ラマヌジャンがはるかに劣る、と書いた。彼はその論理に耳を貸さず、別の問題にすり替えて、逃げまわった。
彼は、日本では優秀な大学と言われる私立の慶応大学の卒業生で、文科系である。この種の学生の通弊として、聞いたこと、耳のみ信用し、自分の頭で考えようとはしない。こんな卒業生は、世の中に害悪を流すだけである。
大学教育には、理科系の教程を、必ず組み込むべきであろう。文科系だけの教養は、「有害無益」だ。

Remembering Ramanujan: A Magic Square Tribute on His Death Anniversary
While asleep, I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood, as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention. That hand wrote a number of elliptic integrals. They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing.

Ramanujan
https://www.cfalindia.com/ramanujan/
Srinivasa Ramanujan, an mathematician, was born in 1887 in the Southern region of India. Ramanujan was born in the quaint village of Erode, nestled approximately
400 kilometers southwest of Madras, now known as Chennai. His journey into the world of mathematics began in his formative years when he was just a year old.
His mother relocated to Kumbakonam, a town about 160 kilometers closer to Madras, where his father worked as a clerk in a cloth merchant's shop.
However, destiny had other plans for young Ramanujan. In December 1889, he contracted smallpox, which marked the first twist in his remarkable life.

December 22 is celebrated as National Mathematics Day every year. This date marks the birth anniversary of legendary mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. Mathematics is a part of our everyday lives and celebrating this day makes it even more special.

Mathematics is the biggest motivation because it starts from zero and goes up to infinity. Wish you a Happy #NationalMathematicsDay.
