"Reflections around the
RamanujanCentenary"で学校に於ける数学教育の改善に就いて訴えてゐる；
“ There is also another thing which, I think, is rather important, and this is the school mathematics. I have talked with many others who became mathematicians, about the mathematics they learned in school. Most of them were not particularly inspired by it but started reading on their own, outside of school by some accident or the other, as I myself did.
I think mathematics in the school definitely should be revised in such a way that it gives more of a sense of discovery and excitement. I think, in this, the teaching of mathematics often differs from the teaching of other sciences which in the school is usually betterr carried out and does give a sense of discovery and excitement. And besides the schools, I think, it is also important for the development of possible future Ramanujan, that public libraries should stock a reasonable amount of mathematical books that could inspore and really interest someone who wants to find something outside of his school curriculum. This is one important thing that can be done in the future for making it easier for any future Ramanujan.”
