~Scenes from an online lecture~

A scene from a statistics lecture

"Learning the Basics: Statistics" by Professor Heichik Pavel.

Statistics is essential for research activities.

A scene from a linear algebra lecture

In Professor Shunsuke Takagi's "Basic Learning: Linear Algebra,"

we tackled a problem involving calculating a store's market share using mathematical matrices.

The third-year students met in person for the first time. Unfortunately, it was held online, but the two days were filled with lectures that covered the fundamentals of mathematics essential for research activities, as well as lectures that explored the very nature of research, raising expectations for their future research endeavors
