Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Physics

Required, Elective, etc. : Elective subjects

Basic disciplines: Mathematical science / physics / general physics

Relationship with Educational Objectives : This subject corresponds to the learning objective of each engineering department, "(1) Acquire knowledge about natural science subjects centered on mathematics and physics, and acquire the ability to apply it as basic knowledge about each engineering."

Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goal of learning or education in this subject is "(A) Deepening of basic knowledge about technology, A-1: Acquiring knowledge in a wide range of natural sciences as basic knowledge about engineering, and can be explained. "

Class outline : Analytical mechanics provides a method for systematically dealing with classical mechanics, and is also important for studying quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity in earnest. This course focuses on the basics of analytical mechanics, including the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian forms.
Style:
Course method:
Lecture-style lessons will be conducted and exercises will be conducted as appropriate. In the exercise, students will be asked to write a board and explain the answers. Impose an assignment report and proceed with the lesson while confirming the degree of understanding of the students.

Grade evaluation method:
Exams (60%) + Exercises (40%) .
Supplementary classes and re-taking exams will be imposed on those with poor grades, and the results of the regular exam will be replaced with a maximum of 60 points.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
This subject is a "subject that requires study outside of class hours". Classes are offered for 15 credit hours per credit, but 30 credit hours are required in addition to this. Follow the instructions of teacher for these studies.

Course advice :
Read the textbook well. Also, be sure to submit the assignment report by the deadline.

Basic subjects :
General Physics (3rd year), Differential and Integral I (2), Differential and Integral II (3), Fundamental Differential Equations (3)

Related subjects :
Quantum Science (5th year), Electromagnetism (4), Modern Physics (4), Condensed Matter Physics (4), Mathematics subject

Attendance advice :
Calculate and understand the mathematical formulas. If students are operating e-mail etc. during class, may be asked to leave the room. If student join the class starts within 25 minutes, it will be lateness, and 3 times lateness will result in 1 absence.
