Lecture
Academic Year 2019 / 1st Semester
(Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday，4th & 5th Period (14:45-18:00), General Education (Fundamental Courses))
The Scientific method is a core of the scientific research. We first find some theories from patterns of the controlled experiments and observation. We next make some observable prediction by the theories and check them by experiments. This also means that the controlled experiments and observations are key to the understanding of our natural world. In this course, the students will learn the basic skills for scientific experiments.
(Friday, 5th Period (16:30-18:00), General Education (Liberal Arts))
Space and solar system have been explored by the cutting-edge observation technologies and the numerical simulations using such like super-computers. In this class the latest knowledge on those subjects and the state-of-the-art technologies will be introduced by the experts in order to understand new cosmic/natural views. From this talks students will feel a sense of romance and mysteries of cosmos as well as understand the physical background.

The objectives of this course are to understand basic characteristics of plasma in the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere, motion of plasma, equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), convection of plasma and currents in the ionosphere and magnetosphere, and basic property of magnetospheric storm and substorm.
(Thursday, 3rd Period (13:00-14:30), Department of Science)
In this course you learn basic principles in electromagnetism. Specific EM-related phenomena in and around the Earth are exemplified to see how the electromagnetism is applied to earth sciences.
(Wednesday, 1st Period (08:45-10:15), Department of Science)
Most of astrophysical phenomena are understood through observations of electromagnetic waves. Understanding of transfer of electromagnetic waves and their radiation mechanisms is necessary for making astrophysical phenomena clear through observations of electromagnetic waves. In contrast, many common phenomena, such as the interaction between the solar wind and planetary atmosphere, the formation of the magnetosphere, and aurora, can be observed at the planets in the solar system. In order to understand these phenomena, it is necessary to acquire the knowledge of the characteristics of plasma and the equations of magnetohydrodynamics. In this course, you can learn transfer of electromagnetic waves, radiation mechanisms of electromagnetic waves, characteristics of plasma and the basic equations of magnetohydrodynamics.
