mathematics, mathematical physics
Will be continued.
The theme of this research seminar is "mathematics" in a broad sense, including mathematical physics, information theory and related topics. Mathematics has a long history of study and is essential in many fields, not only natural science but also engineering, medicine, finance, and the social sciences. Moreover, the importance of mathematics is increasing in the modern information society (for example, it is crucial in AI and machine learning).
In this seminar, we will choose a few topics (depending on students' background and interests) and run a reading seminar where every student reads, writes and contributes to the discussion. The instructor's areas of expertise are geometry and algebra (and related mathematical physics), but we will appreciate diversity of the topics.
We also welcome those who want to learn basic mathematics for their own research in other fields.
