Course description and aims

Recently, learning machine learning attracts attention. It is fun to try.
After acquiring a doctoral degree (physics) with statistical mechanics as the pillar, after studying it by changing its interest to the information science system, this is quite interesting.
Besides, data science including machine learning is compatible with the exact road of physics that faces experimental data.
I think that it will be good as a basic subject of undergraduate course.
You can not miss not only getting as a tool but also having fun to understand.
When a large number of degrees of freedom gather, it becomes an object of analysis with statistical mechanics as a clue,
You can bring a cut by physics into the information science methodology.
Perhaps quantum mechanics, perhaps that way, may develop further.
I'm planning a lecture that will inspire me to think about it.
