Features of Major Subjects
Common to College of Science and Engineering
| Subject Name | Features |
| English CoreⅠ-a | The main goal is to improve English reading and listening skills. In terms of reading ability, we aim to acquire the ability to read and understand relatively short and concise texts written in expressions that are very commonly used in daily life. In terms of listening ability, we aim to cultivate the ability to understand clear and slow speech and pronunciation to a degree that can meet specific needs. |
| English CoreⅠ-b | The aim of this course is to improve your English reading and writing skills. You will develop the ability to understand sentence structure, accurately read the contents, and summarize. In particular, you will aim to be able to accurately read articles and reports that reveal the writer's attitude and perspective. You will also improve your ability to write coherent texts on topics of interest. Vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation will be covered to develop accurate reading and writing skills. |
| English CoreⅠ-c | The aim of this course is to develop English listening and speaking skills. Students will develop the ability to understand words spoken slowly and clearly, and to grasp phrases and expressions related to themselves, their family, school, local area, and other things around them. Students will also be able to communicate their opinions and feelings in simple English, express opinions such as for and against, and express similarities and differences. |
| English CoreⅠ-d | Can write and speak in multiple sentences about hobbies, likes and dislikes using simple words and basic expressions. Can write and speak in short sentences about his/her own experiences using a dictionary. Can describe simple facts about daily life in multiple sentences using simple words and basic phrases with limited syntax, after preparing what to say in advance. |
Physical Sciences Course
| Subject Name | Features |
| Quantum mechanics | The purpose of this course is to understand and master quantum mechanics, which is one of the pillars of modern physics and essential for the creation of new science and technology. The content of the lectures will cover not only the basics of quantum mechanics but also many applications, even explaining various natural phenomena. |
| Statistical mechanics | Statistical mechanics is a field of physics that connects the microscopic and macroscopic worlds. In this lecture, we will discuss the microscopic structure of matter at the atomic and molecular level, as well as its macroscopic properties, from a unified perspective by introducing statistical thinking. |
| Space Physics | This course uses physical methods to try to understand the mysterious phenomena of astronomical objects in space. It deals with the birth and evolution of stars, supernova explosions, compact stars, and other subjects, and discusses how to derive the physics of these objects from observations, as well as the observational methods. |
| Solid State Physics | This course covers the various physical properties that arise in metals, semiconductors, and insulators due to the motion and distribution of electrons. This course aims to provide an understanding of the important concepts that form the basis of solid-state physics, and then goes on to discuss an overview of the physics of superconductivity. |
Mathematical Sciences Course
| Subject Name | Features |
| Algebra I | A group is an algebraic system that mathematically describes the symmetry of figures, equations, spaces, etc. This lecture is aimed at students who have learned the basics of algebra and explains the basics of group theory. The goal is to deepen understanding by dealing with a wealth of concrete examples and then become familiar with abstract discussions of algebra. |
| Geometry I | Differential geometry is a science that uses differentiation and integration to analyze the properties of shapes. This lecture is an introduction to differential geometry, dealing with curves and surfaces in three-dimensional space. After covering curvature and fundamental forms as subjects, we will also explain exterior differential forms and Riemannian metrics. |
| Differential Equations II | In many fields of science and engineering, many of the fundamental laws are given in the form of partial differential equations. In this lecture, we will explain analytical methods and properties of solutions for linear partial differential equations that are important in applications, such as the heat equation, Laplace equation, and wave equation. We will also provide a brief explanation of nonlinear problems. |
