Those Who Set Global Standards Dominate the Market
A fierce competition over standards is underway in future industrial sectors such as electric vehicles, next-generation telecommunications, the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart factories. This is because securing technological standards can lead to market dominance. There has also been an increase in collaborations among companies, with intense lobbying efforts from governments seeking to protect their domestic industries. If a country loses in the international standards war, it risks becoming a technologically dependent nation, leading to a significant royalty fees. This could be fatal for countries that depend heavily on exports. It is essential to prepare a systematic strategy for the war over standards.
Standards serve as a significant economic growth tool within corporate management strategies. When a country's technology is recognized as an international standard, it not only enhances its national reputation but also brings substantial economic benefits through trade. Currently, international standards are fulfilling roles that international law cannot regulate, while also acting as new trade barriers. Securing international standards makes it difficult to replace them with other technologies, providing an advantage in seizing the global market. This is why standardization efforts in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector are often described as a " war without guns" and why standard patents are likened to a "goose that lays golden eggs."
A Hidden Champion That Established the Global Standards in Mathematics Education
As children evolve, mathematics education must also change. It has taken 30 years to research and develop mathematics textbooks that could serve as the global standard in mathematics education. To become a global standard in mathematics education, the following conditions must be met: Mathematics must be recognized as the study that uncovers the secrets of nature. An ideal mathematics education involves a series of exercises that reveal nature’s secrets. Consequently, mathematics textbooks should contain content that fosters an understanding of the natural world, as well as insights into humanity and society. The study of mathematics begins with the observation of nature. Identifying motifs through observation is a desirable approach to studying mathematics. The motifs found in nature are traces of life and death inherent in living things. These motifs embody the unique characteristics of each organism.
Once we identify these motifs through observation, we should be able to represent them visually. Geometric figures are abstract concepts created in our minds. To treat the secrets of nature as a subject within mathematics, each drawing must be associated with numbers or letters. These numbers or letters are keys that unlock the secrets of nature. When the regularities of nature are revealed, we can uncover the mysteries of life and death that living things embody. Mathematics is a prediction program of nature.
To represent nature as drawings, we need to understand figures, patterns, measurements, and dimensions. We also have to study numbers, operations, and mathematical expressions to find relationships within the drawings and express them mathematically. The difference between arithmetic and mathematics lies in the use of letters. The use of letters has made mathematics more approachable. We must study fractals and chaos to uncover nature's structures and its invisible forces and laws, as well as to identify its regularities. Finally, we must be able to predict the future based on these observations. Achieving this requires a solid understanding of the number of possible outcomes, which forms the basis of probability, as well as data analysis, which serves as the foundation for statistics, and functions, which graphically represent various relationships through graphs.
The books published by our company will help transform children's innate seeds of creativity into tangible outcomes. A country's mathematical proficiency is a reflection of its national competitiveness. At a national level, the fruits of creativity manifest as advanced industrial technology that preserves the future of the nation. On a personal level, the fruits of creativity involve choosing a profession that aligns with one's innate talents. An ideal mathematics education serves as a compass for future career choices.
Since ancient Greece, mathematics has branched into independent fields, scattering like grains of sand. We dream of a renaissance in mathematics education. We are excited to announce the completion of humanities-based mathematics textbooks that marks the beginning of this new era.
