Algorism - (in)computability of architecture
This course is about techniques and strategies for making presentations of academic nature. The main objective of the course is to strengthen academic communication competency. The course is taught in English.
The language components of the course are speaking, listening and open discussion. Students improve on these skills through weekly speech projects done either individually or in small groups.
At the end of the course, students will be able to argue and present their personal ideas in a manner that is academically sound and logical.
We study matrices and vectors, in particular, how to solve the simultaneous equation, how to calculate the determinant and the inverse matrices. Moreover,
by abstracting these concepts, we study linear spaces and linear mapping.
Then a matrix can be regarded as a linear mapping. Especially, eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix, and the matrix diagonalization characterize the mapping. We often encounter these concepts in other mathematical fields including statistics.

In this course, students will learn basic epidemiology, health policy and health communication. Epidemiology is "the study of how disease is distributed in populations and the factors that influence or determine this distribution" and the goals are preventing diseases, enhancing healthy life and quality of life.
By the end of the course, students will acquire the knowledge on basic research design, causal inferences, and ability for logical thinking.
The benefits of learning cognitive science and related academic fields are not only to be able to understand human mental processes and behaviors scientifically, but to help create effective solutions to various problems in modern society and industry.
This course aims to learn the essential literacy to apply such knowledge effectively and creatively to solve real-world problems that you will face in the future.
In this year’s course, we will focus on four topics from numerous studies related to cognitive science:
(1) Affordances and Signifiers,
(2) Visual Perception,
(3) Decision-Making and Cognitive Biases, and
(4) Motivation and Behavior Change.
I will explain the theoretical foundations of each topic, and then we will review and discuss the usefulness and the issues of their practical applications, especially in the fields of design and marketing, with the help of case studies.
This course particularly welcomes students who have a strong interest and passion for practical applications of academic knowledge.
世界中の国々が急速に高齢化に向かっているが、日本における超高齢化社会は世界に例を見ないスピードで進行しており、６５歳以上の人口が２０３０年には３０％、２０５５年には４０％を超えると推定されており、我が国がどのように対処していくか、世界中が注目している状況である。３３兆円を超える国の医療財政は毎年１兆円の伸びを示し、大変厳しい状況であるが、この危機的状況は逆にチャンスであり、今後、世界の多くの国が直面する同様の状況にそのノウハウを提供することができると考える。 人の平均的な一生は寿命が８０，９歳、健康寿命が７４，５歳で死亡前の６，４年は寝たきりなどの状態になる。また、生涯医療費の約６６％は６０歳以降、約５０％は７０歳以降に、そして死亡１年前の終末期医療費は約２０％を消費される。しかしながら、最近の研究では長寿で医療費は増加せず、むしろ健康長寿では大幅に軽減されることが分かっている。つまり健康長寿が実現されればピンピンコロリで本人や家族のＱＯＬが向上するばかりでなく増加する医療財政にも好影響を与えることになる。
In this course, students will learn basic theories of mental health and their application to the environment.
Regarding basic theories of mental health, they will learn acquisition and maintenance of behavior, relation between behavior and health, mechanisms of stress, interpersonal behavior, and motivation.
Regarding application of health science to environment, they will learn human ecology, suicide prevention, occupational mental health, information environment and health, health support during disaster, and life course epidemiology.
