This course is specially designed for students who want to learn French but wish to do so in a slower and relaxed pace. The class meets twice a week.
The course is co-taught by two instructors: a native French instructor and Japanese instructor.
Russian is one of the most important and interesting languages in the world. Learning the language will give you another window through which you will see a new world. The structure of Russian is different from those of English and Japanese. It is always difficult to learn a new foreign language, but it is exciting and challenging.
Basic 1 is offered for students who want to learn Arabic twice a week at their own pace. Students will acquire Arabic alphabet, basic vocabulary, conversation skills and grammar knowledge.
Please note that who finish Basic 1 can promote to Basic 2. After completing Basic 2, they can promote to Intensive 3.
In the future Japanese society, the public service area that the government can cover will become narrower and narrower.
This means that there will be gaps in various areas such as welfare and medical care that we have enjoyed so far.
It becomes more prominent in rural areas. The aging population and the declining population due to social and natural declines are accelerating, and for the "regions" that exist in various parts of Japan, it already exists as a sense of crisis with a real feeling.
Under these circumstances, we will face various social issues that are becoming more and more apparent.
So who fills that blank area? Who will face such social issues? It could only be a private sector or a partnership between the private sector and the government. It means that we have to become players ourselves.
It is an era in which we must protect and support our society by ourselves.
In such a context, one key for approaching social problem solving is social business that aims to solve social problems through business and social finance that has the potential to support it and lead to more innovative areas.
The purpose of this lecture is to acquire the design skills of highly feasible social business that will lead to the solution of social issues by learning the basic knowledge of social finance and the process for implementation.
In this class, the latest movement of community informatics is introduced, and the meanings, the possibilitis and the problems are considered as well. We will focus especially on “community informatics projects”, which aim to solve the community problems using information technology through the collaboration with various entities such as NPO, corporation, government and university. The class is for those who are interested in urban development making the best use of information technology, community innovation and policy making of community informatics.
Due to the development of advanced information technology, highly accurate spatial information can be utilized. In urban planning, environmental science and area marketing, using these data, modeling of spatial phenomena and elucidation of phenomena is required to plan and implement detailed measures for individual entities. Particularly in recent years, new academic fields called geostatistics and space econometric economics are being formed, and these methodologies have been applied to its application to environmental science, humanities and social sciences. In this course, students are expected to acquire more advanced spatial modeling techniques through lectures and exercises. Students are expected to exercise by selecting socioeconomic data (population, land price etc.) or environment related data (air pollution observation value, etc.) according to their interest.
In recent years, Bayesian statistics has been attracting attention not only in economics and finance, but also in various fields such as business administration, medicine, psychology, and marketing.
In this lecture, we will explain the differences between Bayesian statistics and non-Bayesian statistics, Bayes' theorem which is the basis of Bayesian statistics, Bayesian updating from prior to posterior probability, Markov chain Monte Carlo method which is a numerical analysis method, model selection in Bayesian statistics, application of Bayesian estimation to normal distribution models and regression analysis models, and hierarchical Bayesian models which handle individual differences.
In the lecture, we will include many exercises using Python.
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.

The acquisition of communication based foreign language skills, which students can competently practice in their daily life, is the top priority goal of German education at SFC. In this course new topics and grammar will be introduced every week. The learning materials are developed to match the student’s school life, area of study and personal interests while studying at SFC. The steps of the grammar lessons as well as the important subjects are all based on the curriculum at SFC. The students will learn around 10 key sentences as well as 40 to 50 words per week. In one semester they will be freely able to communicate with 100 to 150 key sentences and 700 words. Students who will complete the intensive courses 1 and 2 will be able to acquire all basic German grammar, which will be equivalent to the A2 level of CEFR.("Basic 1" and "basic 2" are equivalent to the "intensive course 1" level.)

A programs can be seen as a mathematical function which calculate output value for a given input. However, it is not a simple mathematical function. It is not a total function, but a partial one. In order to understand the property of programs, it is necessary to introduce topology of complete partial order. In this lecture, we will study lambda calculus, domain theory, category theory and so on which are base for mathematical theory of programs.
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.
