事前学修と事後学修の内容、レポート、課題に対するフィードバック方法 Pre- and Post-Course Learning, Report, Feedback methods

Each lecture is divided into two sections: theory and practice. The theory section helps students establish relevant mathematical concepts and explore mathematical methods for problem-solving; the practice section requires students to solve practical problems based on the theoretical knowledge they have learned. Active participation in class discussions is expected and required.

Students should spend no less than 3 hours preparing and reviewing each lecture.
