Global Analysis II
Autumn Semester (2-0-0)
Hiroshige SHIGA
In this lecture series, we will present recent developments in the deformation theory of Riemann surfaces and Kleinian groups. After explaining the basic theory of Riemann surfaces and Kleinian groups, we will present fundamental facts on quasiconformal maps and holomorphic motions, which are key tools to understand the theory.

11073
Probability Theory II (Intensive Course)
Autumn Semester (2-0-0)
Ryoki FUKUSHIMA
In this lecture series, I will explain the basic concept of large deviation principle. The theory of large deviations deals with rates at which probabilities of certain events decay as a natural parameter in the problem varies. What makes this theory interesting is that it is directly related to the Laplace principle on general spaces.
Some key concepts of the theory, basic examples, and applications to statistical physics will be covered.

Physical Chemistry of Melts
Autumn Semester (2-0-0) (Odd Years)
Prof. Masahiro Susa and Assoc. Prof. Yoshinao Kobayashi
[Aims]
This lecture mainly centers upon thermodynamics of metal, its oxide melts and metal production process. The term of ‘melts’ essentially means what the term of ‘liquid’ does and is often used, in particular, when one refers to the state of substances which are melted at high temperatures. In this usage, for example, liquid iron is a kind of melt but liquid water is not. Many metallic materials are produced via the state of melts and thus understanding of physico-chemical properties of melts is essential to metallic materials process designing and its optimization. This lecture ranges from fundamental to applied thermodynamics relevant to metals. The final goal is to learn how to use the concept of activity and how to utilize thermodynamic laws and functions, through many exercises. Moreover, this lecture consequently aims to understand the thermodynamic treatment on the practical production process.

1. Departments Outline

The three Mechanical and Engineering Departments of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering are run in an integrated and collaborative manner as a unique group of mechanical engineering courses by world standards for the purpose of producing the world’s finest researchers and engineers in the field of mechanical, control and informatics engineering. The curricula of these departments are combined with the curriculum of the Department of Mechanical and Environmental Informatics to allow graduate students to select their subjects from a truly broad spectrum of scientific and engineering subjects. In the research work, each student is engaged in one of the most advanced research themes in their respective field to broaden as well as deepen his/her knowledge of the special field.

2. Graduation Requirements

For a Master’s degree / Doctoral degree, a student must satisfy the following requirements. All students are strongly advised to consult with their own supervisors about the study plan.

[Master’s degree]

For a Master degree, a student must satisfy the following requirements.

(1) Credits

• 30 credits or more from the Graduate School Courses.
• Research Courses(研究科目群)
  (a) 8 credits from the Seminar Courses. *1
• Courses by Departments(専門科目群)
  (a) 16 credits or more from the Departmental Courses. *2(専攻専門科目)

• 2 credits or more from the Liberal Arts and General Education(G). (大学院教養・共通科目群)

*1 Seminar in each semester is the required subject. 8 credits are the requirement for the normal study period of master study, i.e., two years, or four semesters. If the student completes the master course less than 4 semesters, the required credit is reduced according to the number of spent semesters, e.g., 4 credits for two semesters (minimum), and 6 credits for 3 semesters.

*2 Because the curricula of the three Mechanical and Engineering Departments are unified, the classes in Table 2 are regarded as the Departmental Courses. (専攻専門科目)

*3 Courses in Other Departments are chosen from the classes given by the other departments. The classes in Table 2 that are given by the Department of Mechanical and Environmental Informatics are not applicable for the Courses in Other Departments.

(2) Thesis

A student must complete and submit the master thesis to take the final examination, and he/she must pass the examination.

[Doctoral degree]
For a Doctoral degree, a doctoral candidate must satisfy the following requirements.

(1) Seminar in each semester is the required subject. Required number of the credit is the same idea with that of master’s degree.
(2) If the candidate enrolls in the Integrated Doctoral Educational Program, Off-Campus Project and the related subjects (System Project Research) are required to complete.
(3) The candidate must have sufficient academic achievement, ex. presentation in international conferences and/or acceptance of journal papers in academic field.
(4) The candidate must complete and submit a thesis for the degree, and take the final examination and the evaluation of his/her thesis.

The candidate who satisfies the above requirements and passes the final examination is awarded a Doctoral degree.

♦Department of International Development Engineering [International Graduate Program (Master/Doctor)]

1. Program Outline

The goal of the education in the department is to produce the engineers who can take the leadership in the sustainable development of the global society by utilizing the science and technology. The areas of their contributions include the industry, public works, information and communication technologies, and environment. Toward this goal, several unique components are integrated into the course: first, skills on project formulation and management are emphasized. In addition to the case method, the ongoing international development projects are used as the course materials for the analyses of the problems and their solutions. The skills provide the vision of the high level “problem solution” to the engineering students. Second, advanced knowledge in engineering fields is provided with the focus on the sustainable development. Third, internship and field work are provided as an elective course. Fourth, thesis writing provides an opportunity for the training to build the capacity as the engineer. The searching for solution for a specific development problem is emphasized in addition to technology itself. Therefore, a co-advisor from different engineering fields may be appointed on request.
