Important Reminders forApplicants to the Department of Mathematical Sciences
Department of Mathematical Sciences

1. Mathematics I
Answer 4 questions in total, including two questions from differential/integral and two from linear algebra(matrix, linear mapping, and vector space).
2. Mathematics II (Only for summer examination)
There are nine basic questions from the following scope. Choose two questions to answer.
Scope of questions:･ Field of algebra (standard form of linear transformation, metric vector space, basics of grouptheory & ring theory)･ Field of geometry (general topology, differential geometry of curved surface/line)･ Field of analysis (vector analysis, differential equations theory, complex functions theory)･ Field of applied mathematics (discrete mathematics, algorithm)
3. English language
There are two kinds of English questions on mathematics: one English-Japanese translation and one
English composition (Japanese-English translation) questions. Answer those two questions.
4. Previous examination questions (Mathematics I, Mathematics II) are available on the Department’s
website (URL: https://www.se.tmu.ac.jp/mis/).
5. A questionnaire survey is conducted as a reference for the second-stage examination (oral examination).
Please fill out the questionnaire sheet enclosed with the Exam Admission Card and bring it with you on
the day of the examination. It will be collected at the examination venue.
6. Please enter the application field number and teacher’s name in the “application field number” column.
*Application field number(Entry example)

Important Reminders
for Applicants to the Department of Physics
Department of Physics
1. Subjects on the examination
Physics I: Mechanics, Electromagnetics
Physics II: Quantum mechanics, Thermal and statistical mechanics
2. Selection procedures● First examination
Examinees receiving high scores in the written examination are selected from each of groups A to D.
● Second examination
An oral examination is conducted for each of groups A to D, and applicants are assessed
comprehensively based on the results of the first and second examinations. Those who receive scores
above the passing score are accepted.
Enter the application fields in the “application field number” column of the Application Form as follows:● First choice:

Write down one field number from (1) to (16).

● Second choice

Choose at most two from group codes A to D and write them down from theleft in the order of preference.

(Note) Even when the second choice field group is the same as that of the first choice field, you must still
enter group code A to D in the “second choice application field” column.
3.

If your thesis advisor is scheduled to retire within five years of your enrollment in the Master's program,
you will not be allowed to enter the Doctoral program with that faculty member as your thesis advisor. If
you are considering advancing to the Doctoral program, please inform the faculty member of the relevant
laboratory and consult with him/her before applying.

4.

If your thesis advisor is scheduled to retire within two years of your enrollment in the Master's program,you cannot use the Long-term Study System.

5. Important information on the entrance examination for the Department of Physics is available on thefollowing websites. Make sure to check the latest information.
● Entrance examination in general:

https://www.phys.se.tmu.ac.jp/outside/daigakuin/● Previous examination questions:

https://www.phys.se.tmu.ac.jp/outside/daigakuin/kakomon/

The entrance examinations to be held in the summer of 2024 and winter of 2025 (2025 April enrollment and2024 October enrollment) according to this application guideline will include mathematics in theexamination subjects. However, from the entrance examinations to be held in the summer of 2025 onward,
mathematics will no longer be included in the examination subjects, and physical mathematics will be
included in the scope of questions in physics.

Important Reminders forApplicants to the Department of Chemistry
Department of Chemistry

1. Each laboratory has its own quota. Therefore, even if an applicant satisfies the eligibility criteria, he/she
may not be admitted to the laboratory of his/her choice. Please contact the thesis advisor of the laboratoryof choice for the quota and the number of applicants.
2. In the “application field number” column of the Application Form, enter the field number of your first
choice in the “first choice” column. Then, in the “second choice” column, enter the field numbers of thesecond choice to the fifth choice in the order of preference. Failure to do so would mean rejection of
application or failure to be assigned to a laboratory of your second or lower choice.

3. Questions in chemistry are related to three fields: organic chemistry, inorganic/analytical chemistry, andphysical chemistry. How to choose questions is explained on the front page of the question leaflet distributedon the day of the examination.
From 2024 October enrollment examination, biochemistry will be excluded from the subjects on theexamination.
Previous chemistry examination questions are available on the Department’s website.

2. As each field has a quota, you may not be admitted to the field of your choice even if you have successfully
passed the entrance examination. When you satisfy an acceptability criterion but the quota for your first andsecond choices fields has been filled by other applicants with far more superior results, you will be accepted
under the status of “Field Undecided.” Taking the above into consideration, carefully decide the fields of yourfirst and second choices. It is recommended that you contact the teachers in your first and second choices fields
and make yourself informed of the research contents, laboratory members, etc., before making an application.
3. The field of the “Field Undecided” successful applicants shall be decided based on the consultations after
enrollment. However, they may be assigned to the field of their initial choice if there is any admission
cancellation.
4. When you are admitted to the field of your second or third choice, you may become a “Field Undecided”
successful applicant by waving the right to your admitted field after admission registration is completed.
5. Detailed information on the field availability, waiver application, and field determination of the “Field
Undecided” successful applicants shall be given after admission registration is completed.
6. When you wish to be admitted to a research field of a Visiting professor/associate professor from any of thepartner institutions, enter both the field number and teacher’s name in the “application field number” column ofthe Application Form.
