In this intensive course, advanced topics in the wide range of informatics such as mathematical information sciences, intelligence sciences, life-sciences and socio-economic sciences are introduced by visiting lecturers.
The aim of this course is to broaden students' perspectives by lectures of advanced topics by active scientists in the front line.
Note: There is a short manuscript titled “Can Monte Carlo methodology allow us to implement Shor’s algorithm?” prepared by Machida and Shibakov for this course, which can be downloaded at math.tntech.edu/machida/machida-shibakov-2019.pdf. This white paper explains their motivation in organizing this course on quantum computation and Monte Carlo methodology.
Students can obtain knowledge about advanced topics in mathematical information sciences, intelligence sciences, life sciences and socio-economic sciences.
