Lecture by Professor Toshihiko Yamazaki
Lecture by Takumi Yobinori
For the 97 students of the 2022 fourth cohort, the first lecture was held online
In STEAM-type learning 1, students were divided into three fields: chemistry, information science, and engineering, and attended lectures where they discussed the research topics of each field with their peers. The professors shared their research philosophies and passion for research, which was a great source of inspiration for the students who are about to start planning their own research projects
In addition, in Basic Learning 1, an instructor who is also an alumnus of our university gave a clear and easy-to-understand explanation of the significance of linear algebra. It seems that the students' motivation to learn mathematics was further increased after watching the instructor's lectures, which they usually watch on YouTube
The first phase, which will last approximately six months, is about to begin. I'm looking forward to the upcoming lectures
