This course involves the way to acquire meaningful data from the real world as a tool of problem finding and solving. The data source ranges from the space, e.g. environment monitoring, objects around us, which play critical role cyber physical systems, to human as the stakeholder of a problem. Different data sources require different ways to extract data from them, and the correct way must be used to acquire meaningful data. This course overviews social surveys using questionnaire technique, environment monitoring using state-of-art sensing technologies, and data analysis/presentation skills that are common to all the different projects.
Basic Course 2 is for the students who want to learn Chinese as a “Second language” .The textbook and the teaching materials are same as the one used in Intensive courses, but there are more students in Basic Course (30 to 40 students in each class) . Japanese is also allowed in the class.
Basic 2 will study lesson 8- 14.
Basic Course1 is for the students who want to learn Chinese as a “Second language” .The textbook and the teaching materials are the same as the one used in Intensive courses. But the size of the class in Basic Course is much larger (30 to 40 students in each class) .
※Due to the Covid-19, most of the classes are going to be held online. If the situation settles down, the final examination would be held on campus.

Various modern human-computer interaction (HCI) techniques are used everywhere. We show the history of human computer interaction systems and discuss the ideal future of human-computer interface design.
In the first half we study set theory and mathematical logic. These are useful of logical thinking. In the latter half we study probability. We overview permutation and combination, which you have learned at high school, and then, we study probability. Our goal is Bayesian Theory. This is new for all. Mathematics in university is different from one in high school. Even if you are no good at calculation and memory, you have a chance to enjoy mathematics in university.
We study Complex Analysis. We understand some properties of complex functions
such as Cauchy's theorem, Cauchy's formula, Residues theorem, etc, which are
completely different form real functions. We don't touch the proofs, but we
understand what theorems imply, and master some calculations.
This lecture is an introduction to Shannon's information theory. The essence of information theory is "what is information mathematically?". We will consider a mathematical model of "amount of information", "coding of information" etc and study their basic theory. In transmission and recording, we want to reduce the amount of data. On the other hand, in communication, there is a possibility of transmission error, and coding is required to minimize the transmission error. We will consider the basic idea and method for these problems.
Information theory is a basic theory of expression and transmission of "information". Typical applications include data compression, bit error detection / correction, and encryption. Information theory also plays an important role in machine learning algorithms (for example, cross-entropy can be adopted as an objective function in neural networks).
The goal is to learn the quantitative treatment of "information" that is used in our daily life.
This class discusses how several phenomena could be formulated in mathematical modeling. Each lecture introduces one phenomenon and a mathematical model that describes the phenomenon. This series of lectures firstly addresses modeling with differential equations, and in the later part, mathematical analysis of perceptual phenomena in human psychology are also discussed.

We overview differential and integral calculus learned at high school. Our aim is to generalize these to functions of several variables. For functions with one variable, first we extend the concept of tangent (linear approximation) to the theory of Taylor (polynomial approximation). As an application, we can solve the extreme problem in detail. For functions of several valuables, derivative is called partial derivative. We extend the theory of Taylor and the extreme problem to functions with several variables. Moreover, we consider integral of functions of several variables, which is called multiple integral. By using this we can obtain volume and area of high dimensional objects.

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.
Policy issues at urban management.
This course aims at giving a wider view to the Japanese Prefectural/Local Government for graduate students. Succeeding two classes are paired, one is for giving a lecture, and other is for reading assignments. Since it is rare to find literatures on the Japanese prefectural/local government written in non-Japanese languages, I will use those written in Japanese. Students who take this course should be prepared to read around 30 pages of readings written in Japanese every other week. You can write a term paper either in English or Japanese. Also, you are expected to write a one-page essay on the reading assignments before 7PM, the prior day of the course, and send me by e-mail or through SOL.
Fieldwork is a way to learn about society and culture. Therefore, its practical meaning as a technique is essential. Still, it is also closely related to how to look at things to define problems for oneself and communication to interpret and express the results of research and analysis. In this lecture, students will learn the basic methods and attitudes of "fieldwork" through courses and practical assignments. Each student (or group) will set a theme and conduct fieldwork throughout the semester. Students are required to go outside the campus, walk around the city, take photos and videos, and first of all, see with their own eyes and feel with their bodies.
This class provides the knowledge and the methodology of the qualitative research, where you will understand the basic process of the social research through the actual small-scale qualitative survey. It is more important to understand how to see things happening in our society than to understand the technique.
The main objective of this course is to exercise development of web applications based on a framework Ruby on Rails where we use a script programming language Ruby which is becoming popular recently. First, we will learn the language specification and programming techniques of Ruby. Next, we will learn how to use Ruby on Rails, and then make our own practical applications.
This course will examine the Japanese governance system and policymaking process focusing on
①Duality of government and the ruling party
②Relationship between the Prime Minister's Office and the ministries
③Relationship between the politicians and bureaucrats
④Public function played by the private sector and local residents(New Public Commons)
We would like deepen discussions and each graduate student's research mobilizing various resources of the society including market,
government and the New Public Commons.
Learning programming by the C language that is used for constructing operating systems and other software. This course requires basic knowledge of a programming, but doesn't require any C language knowledge. You are required to install compiling and development environment of C language. For Mac OS, XCODE can be installed as part of OS. For Windows, free software package such as "cygwin" can be installed for this lecture.

Literature review of strategic management. participants were to pre-read the papers and participate the in-class discussion
This lecture introduces the functions of UNIX operating system. UNIX is common and basic operating system of Linux, MacOS and many servicer side operating systems. Understanding the UNIX operating system helps for current computer system. The functions of the operating system are File System, Device I/O, Process management, Memory management, Inter Process Communications, Signaling/Interrupt handling and Network functions (includes TCP/IP protocol stack).
In this lecture, understanding those operating system functions by writing system programs in language C.
This course will look at the economic features and business model evolution of information communication technology (ICT) industry. We will examine through various case studies the survival strategy of ICT operators facing ever-increasing market competition and in conjunction understand global market movements and government-business relationships.
