Seki-Takakazu Award

Named for a 17th-century Japanese mathematical prodigy, the Seki-Takakazu Prize was awarded at a ceremony in Tokyo on March 27. Established in 1995, the award honors people and organizations that have supported and encouraged the development of mathematics in Japan over a long period. JAMI is the third recipient in the prize's 11-year history.

On display are the gold medal, a bronze statue of the legendary figure, a volume of Seki Takakazu's collected works, and scrolls and photographs from the awards ceremony.

The prize will be displayed in the Special Collections department on A-Level through September 30, and may be viewed Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours on Thursdays until 8 p.m.
