>Especially with regard to (1), the prospective applicant should be aware that Japanese is the official language in which mathematical and administrative affairs are conducted here at RIMS. Some individuals may tend to regard this state of affairs as a sort of ``unpleasant obstacle''. On the other hand, at the present time, there is no shortage of institutions throughout the world at which one may obtain a quality graduate education in mathematics in English. By contrast, the Japanese language-based mathematical culture that exists here at RIMS [and indeed at other Japanese universities] is, in my opinion, a precious cultural asset, both for Japan and for the world.
