Physics is the foundation of all the natural sciences, and dynamics is the basis of physics. The concepts such as mass, conservation laws, energy, and potential in dynamics appear in various forms not only in other physics but also in other science and engineering fields, including computer science. The lecture deals with Newtonian mechanics, including some concrete examples of the motions of a particle and other objects.

授業の概要
/Course outline
(ICTG class starts in Q2.And Prof. Ryzhii, Maxim V. is in charge of the class.)
Students will learn that the laws of electricity and magnetism can be formulated as the laws of "fields" such as electric and magnetic fields that are created by electric charges and currents, and that they can be described by Maxwell's equations in a unified way. The understanding of the content will be deepened through the solution of typical problems. The concept of "fields" emphasized in electromagnetism is a fundamental idea of modern physics. Electromagnetism is also important as a foundation for learning more advanced fields such as thermodynamics and semiconductors.

(ICTG class starts in Q1. And Prof. Hameed, S is in charge of the class.)
Quantum mechanics deal with very small particles such as an electron or an atom. It is difficult for beginners to understand quantum mechanics because we cannot see any phenomena concerning the quantum mechanical objects directly and quantum mechanics looks very much different from classical mechanics. The lectures mainly treat a problem of the square well potential as a concrete example.

授業の概要
/Course outline
ICT in our current society is fundamentally supported by the semiconductor technologies. They have been applied to Internet servers, network infrastructures, and electronic gadgets such as PCs, telephones, and to enormous transportation machinery markets, like automobiles in recent years. The technologies have been so widely and deeply spread into our human life fundamentals, that we may not be able to sense their existence. Especially, in a few ten years, they have drastically changed our modern human life styles. This course will give the fundamental knowledge, principles, and the summarized history of the semiconductor technologies related to MOS semiconductor structures and devices.
