| Aims | The aim of this course is to understand the basic concepts of mathematical physics which are necessary to integrate biology, chemistry and physics. The course covers selected topics from basic parts of classical mechanics and wave phenomena. In addition, mathematics (differential-integral operations, vector algebra, complex functions and differential equations) which are necessary to describe these concepts will be thoroughly taught with exercises. [Language: Japanese] |
| Contents | The course is primarily designed for students without physics backgrounds. Animation, simple experiments and mathematical exercises at office hour will help their understanding of basic mathematical physics concepts. |
