14 Learning at the Faculty of Science and Technology Outline of Science & TechnologyMathematics A1 (Linear Algebra)Mathematics B1 (Calculus)Mathematics Exercises 1Basic PhysicsBasic ChemistryBasic BiologyBasic InformaticsCompulsory courses for all ■rst-year students of the Faculty of Science and Technology include the following in addition to the Experiments & Exercises in Basic Science (as of April 2024):Students aim to acquire knowledge in a wide range of science and engineering fields and basic knowledge required for taking specialized courses offered by their department, as well as to learn safety and ethics in science. Students learn about vectors and matrices and the basics of linear algebra that can be used widely in various fields of natural science. The subject is not only fundamental for studying engineering and physics but also essential for mastering specialized subjects.Calculus is the basis of mathematics and should be studied continuously. This course includes multivariable calculus, vector analysis, differential equations, and complex analysis, and like Mathematics A1 (Linear Algebra), it is indispensable to studies of various fields, such as engineering and physics.In this course, students do exercises based on the contents of lectures on Mathematics A1 (Linear Algebra) and Mathematics B1 (Calculus).First, mechanics are reviewed to help understand its basic concepts. Next, students learn vector analysis and differential equations required in basic physics and then learn the equation of motion and the law of conservation of momentum and energy. Through these, they will acquire the basics for analyzing various mechanical and dynamical phenomena including oscillation and frictional resistance. In the Department of Information and Communication Sciences, electromagnetism is the basis of communication engineering and biomedical engineering. As an introduction, students will learn basic concepts of electromagnetism and, particularly, the basic laws on the electrostatic field.Chemistry is a discipline that deals with research on the nature of materials and their changes. The objective of this course is to study the three areas required for understanding chemistry: (1) the basics of chemistry and the structures of atoms, (2) the periodic nature of elements, and (3) chemical bonds and molecular structures. Specifically, the lecturer explains atomic structures, electron arrangements, and energy states; the concept of covalent bonds based on molecular orbitals and hybrid orbitals; and various types of chemical bonds, such as ionic, metallic, and hydrogen bonds.The purpose of this course is to acquire basic knowledge in biology as part of higher education. Students review and confirm what they had learned in high school, including the structures and functions of molecules and cells that constitute living bodies; the transmission and expression of genetic information; and the activity and regulation of individuals. At the same time, lectures also touch on new developments in modern biology and the relationship between biotechnology and society.To enable students to understand the technology and architecture that have given rise to the versatility of computers, the lecturer gives comprehensive lectures on hardware and software configuration and the structures of numerical and non-numerical data. (Specifically, lectures cover (1) hardware configuration; (2) machine language programs and the mechanism of CPU; (3) software; (4) various types of equipment, networks, and their interfaces; (5) operating systems; (6) programming language; (7) the structure of numerical data; (8) the structure of character data; and (9) the structure of visual and voice data.)First-Year Compulsory Courses
