Thought is the means by which we elaborate who we are, justify our political systems, design our economicarchitecture, assert our membership of a culture, authorise institutions within society, and make ethical claims uponeach other. Indeed, without any philosophical reflection upon these matters, life would have neither a rationale nor
articulated meaning. It is thus precisely at the cross-roads between our daily practices and habitual ways of thinking
that this course is situated.
n, inand the facts from the fiction. The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think
Ideas & Thinkers seeks to inculcate these abilities by providing instruction in the art of philosophical reflection andthe skill of critical argument through the study of some of the core (Western) texts in the humanities and social
sciences. While the focus is on analytical reading and critical thinking, there is an equal emphasis on expressing andll as engaging in dialogue on how to interpret concepts and the practices theyboth derive from and depict.

Science, Technology, and Society in the Information Age
Course Objectives/ Overview
The mathematical concept of information can be found all across disciplines of science and philosophy, because of
its invaluable property to retain all its properties regardless of the media where it is instantiated. This extraordinary
substrate independence and interoperability are what made possible all symbolic representations, from the genetic
code, which allowed for life to develop upon it, to human cognitive capabilities including language, science, and alltechnological inventions which led to the modern society.
This course aims at providing students with a fundamental understanding of information systems, which plays anessential role in our modern life, in the middle of a rapidly transforming society. Students will not only acquire basic
knowledge of information technology but also study human and social aspects of information through lectures andexercises.
Topics include:- information related to humanities: representation, cognition, and communication - information's relation to society:roles of information systems, legal aspects, and technologies in society,- information related to solving problems: data models, algorithms, and computational complexity and how they areinterconnected,- nature of information: what is information, philosophical and mathematical bases to the concept of information,
specificity of information in living systems and human cognition.
Method of Evaluation
The evaluation is based on students' active participation in lectures, weekly assignments, a group project
presentation, and a final project. The final project will be evaluated via a final essay and an oral examination,
towards the end of the course.

Microeconomics
Course Objectives/ Overview
This is an introductory course in microeconomics in which the primary goal will be to introduce students to formal
economic models. Economics is a tremendously interesting discipline and touches on many fascinating aspects oflife: What determines prices? Why do we have markets? Why do we think the market allocation is "good" in somesense? Should governments intervene in markets? Why do countries have different standards of living? Why dopeople within countries have different levels of income? What determines decisions about whether to work andinvest in education? How do people behave in strategic situations? Although an introductory course cannot possibly
hope to cover all aspects of economics, the idea is to introduce a broad range of the models used in economics andto get students to understandformal models, which will be good in ways in which I will explain when we discuss educational investments.
However, we will also play several games and have discussions based on readings to illustrate the principles
involved.
Method of Evaluation
1. Homework
A small weekly homework assignment will be given and we will discuss its solution in the following class. It is
recommended for students to complete the homework.

In this course, we study the differentiation and integration of a function of one-variable (which is also called
one-variable function or single-variable function). Intuitively, differential means the slope of the tangent line of afunction at a given point, and integral measures the area bounded by the graph of the function and x-axis over agiven ifunction, limit of a sequence, continuous function and related topics.

Intellectuals and Critique
Course Objectives/ Overview
Since the siècle des Lumières, (Western) philosophy has devoted itself to the production of knowledge which,amongst other things, establishes facts, anchors values, mediates justice and promises critique. This in turn has
encouraged philosophers to side with society and speak the truth to power, especially in those moments when it
tends to domination. Perhaps the most famous figure to deploy philosophy in this fashion has been the intellectual,
yet in recent years the latter seems to have become a rare species, if not one that is near extinction. With the declineof the role of the intellectual the concomitant task of philosophy as the watchdog of power is brought into question,
too. In this light, the course examines the role of the modern philosopher from the late 18th century up until thepresent. It surveys some paradigmatic cases, from the role of the legislator (Kant), clerc (Benda), freischwebendeIntelligenz (Mannheim), organic intellectual (Gramsci), mandarin (Heidegger), critical theorist (Habermas) andengaged scholar (Chomsky), to the témoin engagé (Sartre), bi-dimensional critic (Bourdieu), interpreter (Walzer),
specific intellectual (Foucault) or feminist activist (Haraway). In studying these roles, we inquire into what role theacademic might assume and the accompanying form of criticism that philosophy could be assigned today.

Introductory course in linear algebra
Course Objectives/ Overview
Phenomena in natural and social sciences are usually complicated, and seldom described by linear equations.
However, Linear Algebra is still powerful and effective in describing essential parts of the phenomena by linear
approximation. Thus Linear Algebra has vast applications.
Linear Algebra will further provide basics for considering linear spaces that appear in quantum mechanics or Fourier
analysis. The ideas in Linear Algebra are broadly utilized in sciences and engineering, including agriculture,
medicine, and economy, as well as in mathematics and physics.
Although Linear Algebra is simple and clear in theory, one needs to be familiar with abstract concepts inmathematics to properly deal with it in practice. It is important for students to keep on deepening their understandingby working with exercise and related problems.
Method of Evaluation
Mainly by final examination, while the score of mid-term exam, quizzes, homework notes, and attendance may
possibly be taken into account.

Introduction to East Asia
Course Objectives/ Overview
This course is designed to investigate the geographical area known as East Asia from roughly 1600 to the 1950s. It
will focus on how we think about the past through looking at key problems that are shared by China, Japan, andKorea. Each week themes such as modernization, gender, eurocentrism, the nation, and colonialism, will be used to
examine specific historical moments. How historical knowledge changes over time, bottom-up approaches to history,social constructions such as gender, and new forms of power, are a few of the problems that will be addressed
through the course themes. The aim is that students will learn to read, think, and write with a critical and analyticalself-awareness about history.

Japan in Asia, through literature
Course Objectives/ Overview

This class looks at various ways in which Japanese writers described their experience in Asian countries and/ or
engaged with the discourse about Japan's role and position on the continent and in the world, from the turn of the20th century to the early 1940s. It also includes texts by colonial subjects, shedding light on their complex
experience of Japan and its empire.
By reading the proposed literary texts in conjunction with critical works on wider/ more theoretical topics, students
will become aware of the way national literature expands its subject matter and style(s) to reflect changing
geographical and political landscapes, while familiarising themselves with literary concepts such as travel writing,modernism, shi-shosetsu, etc. They will be able to use the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired in this classto analyse a wide array of texts, literary and otherwise.

Global governance in International Society
Course Objectives/ Overview
The concept of global governance has increasingly been important for last decades. We have observed emergenceof an international society where states, international organizations and non-state actors attempted to address
global problems and issues. This course provides an overview of concepts, processes and outcomes of global
governance. The course is divided into three parts. The first introduces the current global governance structure, core
concepts and theoretical perspectives on global governance. The second part focuses on actors in global
governance: international and regional organizations and non-state actors, and examines how they play roles for
global governance. The third part deals with issues in global governance ranging from security, economic to social
aspects. The course addresses diverse empirical cases, and analyzes how and why processes differ acrossdifferent issue areas. As a wrap-up session, we will discuss effectiveness of global governance incorporating
concepts such as power, authority and legitimacy.

Course Objectives/ Overview
This course will introduce the students to the current debates surrounding the global environmental problems, suchas climate change, transboundary air pollution, biodiversity loss, and the issues of natural resources and their use(water, etc.). In the course, we will not discuss environmental problems in isolation but view them as an element
following basic questions:- People in the world are living under vastly different conditions in terms of income levels, etc. Given thesedifferences, what kind of global environment should we aim for?
- How can we form a global consensus on collective actions against environmental problems? On a more practicallevel, what are the existing global agreements and institutions on environmental management?
- On a global scale, what kinds of environmental or resource limits are we bound by?
the global
environmental problems, e.g., the needs for balancing environmental quality and poverty reduction. However, thelectures and class discussions also touch on various other aspects -- such as natural-scientific, policy (political andlegal) and technological aspects -- of global environmental issues.

From a methodological standpoint, the focus of lectures will be placed on: (i) how we can formulate consistent andcomparable metrics regarding global sustainable development, which often needs to deal with vague concepts (e.g.,"sustainability"); (ii) how we can distinguish reliable and unreliable data, and where we can find the latter in practice;(iii) what aspects of global sustainable development are potentially quantifiable, and what are not

Understanding Information and Information Environments
Course Objectives/ Overview
Information science is an interdisciplinary science with a wide range of interests and goals. A major element in thefield is concerned with fundamental information processes such as the acquisition and collection of information, theclassification and storage of information, the manipulation and retrieval of information, as well as the analysis,
dissemination, usage, and maintenance of information. Another focus in the course relates to the concept of
information itself. Although the importance of information has been recognized in many fields, as a concept,
information is difficult to define. The course, therefore, not only tries to familiarize students with the history andevolution of the field of information science, the course also investigates the fundamental question: What is
information? Students completing the course will recognize the aims and goals of fundamental information
processes. They will learn to analyze, evaluate, and appreciate the value that information science provides. In
addition, students may develop an understanding of information on a deeper (philosophical) level. Thismation society and modern technology from a morecomprehensive information perspective.
By the end of the semester, students should:(i) be familiar with the history and evolution of the field of information science,(ii) understand fundamental information processes,(iii) have acquired an understanding about the notion of information from various points of view, and(iv) be able to reason about modern society and modern technology from an information perspective.

Decision Analysis
Course Objectives/ Overview
Policy makers in governments and management in businesses are experiencing ever more complex situations thesedays in light of their economic surroundings, stakeholders, organizations, etc. To make rational and sound decisions
in policy making or management strategy, they seek for transparent methodologies and tools that have a basis onobjective information and quantitative analyses.
In this lecture, students will learn the theory and practice of Decision Analysis (DA). DA is a school among theories ofdecision making that is on the basis of probability, optimization, and expected utility theories, and that is intended toresearch and microeconomics. This lecture thus also works as a good introduction to these subjects.

Introductory course in linear algebra
Course Objectives/ Overview
Phenomena in natural and social sciences are usually complicated, and seldom described by linear equations.
However, Linear Algebra is still powerful and effective in describing essential parts of the phenomena by linear
approximation. Thus Linear Algebra has vast applications.
Linear Algebra will further provide basics for considering linear spaces that appear in quantum mechanics or Fourier
analysis. The ideas in Linear Algebra are broadly utilized in sciences and engineering, including agriculture,
medicine, and economy, as well as in mathematics and physics.
Although Linear Algebra is simple and clear in theory, one needs to be familiar with abstract concepts inmathematics to properly deal with it in practice. It is important for students to keep on deepening their understandingby working with exercise and related problems.

Introduction to Qualitative Research
Course Objectives/ Overview
This course aims at introducing theories and methods of qualitative research in social science mainly to first andsecond year university students. The course is particularly suitable for students who are interested in conducting
empirical research in traditional social science as well as innovative interdisciplinary fields.
Differently from natural science studies in which hypotheses are tested with numbers, qualitative studies investigate
on words, and other semiotic resources, guided by a variety of philosophical and social theories. The course
involves hands-on exercises on observation, text analysis, and interview. Students are encouraged to examine datafrom each of the methods deeply and critically to achieve sense-making.

Year 2 HS3(P) NS2(P)Subtitle
Applications of Mathematics in the Sciences
Course Objectives/ Overview
This course is designed to demonstrate how mathematical concepts that U. Tokyo students have learned in theirpure mathematics classes are used and applied in advanced studies in the natural and social sciences.
Understanding applications of mathematics in the sciences allows students to understand what they have learned
more deeply, and helps them to realize the importance of mathematics for their advanced studies in the Senior
Division programs.
The course is delivered by three instructors from different fields of expertise, presenting three stories of the use ofmathematics. Each part focuses on particular mathematical ideas and methods and gives examples of where they
can be applied. The fields of academic discipline and topics are the following:
Part I (physics / chemistry). The mathematical description of quantum mechanics: Complex linear vector spaces andbra-ket notation and their application in describing the fundamental property of spin.
Part II (mathematical economics). Dynamic optimization and economic decision: Finding optimal lifelong
consumption-savings plan.
Part III (chemical and environmental engineering). Process modeling and control: Mathematical modelling andcontrol systems related to industrial and environmental processes.
Method of Evaluation
Grading for this course is based on those of three parts.
Part I: Assignments, quizzes, attendance and participation
Part II: In-class quizzes and attendancePart III: Assignments, attendance and participation
Required Textbook
Will specify at class time
Guidance
Will not conduct guidanceNotes on Taking the Course
There will be no formal textbook required. Lecture notes or handouts will be distributed. In addition, in Part I, Pauld distributed
electronically (as it is in the public domain).
