In this course, students will study research methods frequently used in the fields of cognitive, quantitative, and information sciences.
Through presentations by students, we will learn the foundation of statistics, multivariate analysis, data processing, the use of software, the methods of paper writing, and presentation.
This course aims to cultivate the students’ abilities to: select a proper methodology from various mathematical methods to cooperate with real problems; decide what necessary data is; develop an active research plan.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the characteristics and merits of various mathematical methods.
2) Select proper methods for practical complicated problem-solving.
3) Develop a scientific research plan which is appropriate for objects and goals.
research methods, statistics, research design, classification, discrimination, multivariate analysis
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
In the first half, the students investigate the basis of mathematical methods, summarize, and make presentations. In the second half, as an application of the numerical method, students will present us how to use each analysis method.
Materials will be distributed on the day online pdf, so prepare internet terminals such as notebook computers or tablets.
