*Students who got admitted in 2018 or after can take this course as an “Area Course”. For this group of students, credits from this course will be regarded as credits from an “Area Course”.
If students who got admitted in 2017 or before take this course, it is regarded as a “Package-Based Subject”. The latter group of students cannot take this course as an “Area Course”.
Expected Outcome 1. To be able to explain the formation and development processes and contemporary issues of each academic discipline.
2. To be able to explain historical and contemporary issues that span multiple academic disciplines from multifaceted perspectives.

Class Objectives
/Class Outline Although there was a scientist such as Archimedes in the Greek era, the development of only 300 years of science and technology since Galileo and Newton are remarkable. While learning what is the essence of the rapid progress, students think about symbiosis with nature.

Class Schedule lesson1 Guidance
lesson2 Nature and logic of the Greek era
lesson3 The world of numbers--chaos, non-Euclidean geometry etc.
lesson4 Newtonian physics
lesson5 Heat and energy
lesson6 Oscillation and waves
lesson7 Early quantum theory
lesson8 Quantum theory
lesson9 Electronics and superconductor
lesson10 Einstein's Relativity
lesson11 Synchrotron radiation
lesson12 Neutron scattering
lesson13 Nuclear power
lesson14 For a sustainable and reliable system
lesson15 Liquid metals and high temperature and high pressure science

Student should submit a mini report at the end of every lecture, and long reports (more than 1600 characters in Japanese or more than 1100 words in English) on two themes that the teacher specified in this term.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review There is no need for preparation about a lecture, but it is recommended that you investigate more deeply on what you was interested in.
Also, not only vaguely hear the lecture, please wear the habit of taking notes. After the lesson, you can download materials of PowerPoint that I used in the lecture.

Requirements

Grading Method attitude toward the class including mini reports 40%, and two long reports 60%

Practical Experience

Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it

Message As my research field is physics, my lecture may tend to focus on mathematical and physical points of vew. But I will minimize mathematical formula, and explain it basically for students of literature, as far as I can.

Other 【In case the number of registered students exceed 250, a computerized random selection will be carried out.】

Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
