University of Tokyo Graduate School Entrance Exam – Mathematics (2016) [pdf]
Why is it that I find these questions always posed in a way that is MEANT TO make me NOT understand them? Granted, math is not my topic. However, I am interested and want to learn.<p>I don&#x27;t mean to be a dick, but I just simply find it frustrating that the goal of most mathematicians is to pose some question&#x2F;conjecture in as few sentences as humanly possible. It really grinds my gears how interesting problems are always abstracted behind confusing vertical specific language. Even when reading a Wikipedia article about some cool problem, you get hit in the face with some abstraction that makes most problems seem far more complicated than they actually are.<p>This is probably not a view shared by many here, but if math problems were to be communicated in more natural ways, far more people would be interested in the sciences.<p>Just my 2 cents!<p>Ps. I understand that this is an M.SC. exam. I am talking about math in general, not this pdf!
