What is an Advanced Science Seminar? |
Here we introduce the annual content of the Advanced Science Seminar-the most characteris-tic feature of the Advanced Science Program.
Omnibus-type Seminar
This involves the introduction of a wide range of topics in the natural sciences by university and external teaching staff,as well as field trips to a variety of research facilities.For example in FY1999,lectures on subjects including scientific research on space sta-tions,the latest developments in semi conductors and computer simulations were held by exter-nal teachers.
Mathematics for Physics Seminar
Following a review of basic mathematics,students extensively study mathematics that can be usefully applied to physics.
Physics Seminar
After thoroughly reviewing the basics of physics,students make a thorough study on important issues in physics(Enthusiastic students from both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of En-gineering also participate in these three seminars).
Literature Seminar
A number of teachers are in charge of holding seminars where a variety of themes that everyone is interested in are discussed.For example,in1999,four teachers held seminars on themes such as"Reading Novels,""Studying the Civil Code,""Writing Theses"and"Debating."
