Course description and aims

This course provides lectures on mathematics (especially, vector analysis, eigen value problem, complex functions etc. ) indispensable for those who study chemistry.

Student learning outcomes

The goal is to understand the meaning of each topic and to fully put them to use as tools for studying chemistry.

Keywords

vector analysis, eigen value problem, functions of complex variables

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Each class consists of the outline of basic topics, explanation of exercise problems, and introduction of related topics. Students are required to learn outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes under the instructor's guidance.
