Educational and research objectives

In the Department of Physics and Mathematics, students study physics and mathematics, which are the foundations of science and technology, and aim to develop engineers and researchers who can contribute to society by acquiring application skills through experiments and exercises. In addition, we conduct research in a wide range of fields in physical science and mathematical science, from basic to applied. In particular, as advanced physics and mathematics become directly related to cutting-edge technology and the elucidation of complex social phenomena, we aim to develop human resources who can master the research methods and technologies required by the latest physical sciences, who have mathematical literacy, and who have the ability to construct mathematical models to elucidate phenomena and apply them.

Diploma Policy (Policy for Graduation Certification and Degree Awarding)

■ Knowledge and skills
As part of their specialized skills, students will acquire the ability to analyze various subjects, understand and solve problems based on basic and applied physics and mathematics, and as part of their basic knowledge, they will have acquired English, mathematics and information technology. In other words, they will have acquired the basics of approaches to solving a variety of problems.

■Thinking ability, judgment ability, expressive ability
They have acquired the ability to communicate to others the problems in a subject and their solutions by observing and grasping the problems based on basic knowledge, using the insight and judgment based on analytical training, and reconstructing these objectively and logically, or by extracting and modeling the essential points.

■ Motivation, interest, and attitude
They have an inquisitive mind that seeks to understand unknown problems encountered in the real world.
They have an interest in difficult problems, are able to face them sincerely, and have the desire to become engineers and researchers who can use their creativity to solve them.

Curriculum Policy (Policy for creating and implementing educational courses)

We aim to develop an educational program that fosters creative engineers and researchers who are responsible for people, society, and the natural environment, through physical science and mathematical science education that goes beyond basic principles and focuses on applications in various fields.
In the first year, emphasis is placed on acquiring fundamental skills such as English as a communication tool, computer literacy, mathematics as a foundation for system analysis and the study of physical and mathematical sciences, and information technology as a foundation for system development. In addition, lectures and exercises on mechanics, analysis, and linear algebra, which are common foundations of physics and mathematics, are placed as compulsory subjects.
In the second year, students are divided into two courses: the Physical Science course and the Mathematical Science course. The most important subjects in each field—electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, algebra, geometry, set theory, and probability theory—are assigned as compulsory subjects. These subjects are taught in conjunction with practical exercises, allowing students to acquire fundamental academic skills intensively. Furthermore, specialized experiments are conducted exclusively for students in the Physical Science course.
In the third year, slightly more specialized lecture courses are offered to provide students with a foundation of more practical knowledge, while other specialized courses are arranged to achieve Aoyama Gakuin University 's educational goal of "application to diverse fields." At the same time, specialized experiments are made compulsory subjects for students in each course.
In their fourth year, students conduct their graduation research in their respective laboratories as the culmination of these curriculum courses.

The Department of Physics and Mathematics is broadly divided into the following two fields. Students are expected to carefully consider their own path and create their own study plans based on their own will and responsibility.

Physics and Science Course:
Students will study physics across various levels and scales, from fundamental physics such as mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and relativity, to specialized fields such as solid-state physics, astrophysics, and biophysics, and even cutting-edge applied fields such as superconductivity, nanotechnology, and quantum electronics.

Mathematical Science Course:
Students will study a wide range of mathematical sciences, from pure mathematics such as algebra, analysis, geometry, set theory, and probability theory, to applied mathematics such as numerical analysis, mathematical biology, financial mathematics, and integrable systems.
In parallel with the above, we will offer practical, experimental, and hands-on courses such as physics experiments, physics exercises, mathematics exercises, and mathematical science exercises. These courses will cultivate the ability to integrate and solve problems through practical application.

In their graduation research, students in the Physical Sciences course will, in principle, tackle new problems for which the results are unknown. This will involve building actual experimental equipment, designing and executing experiments based on new ideas, analyzing new data, and performing numerical simulations from new perspectives. Students in the Mathematical Sciences course will approach familiar problems based on fundamental mathematics, apply them to nonlinear mathematics, and confront problems directly through research themes in numerical analysis based on new algorithms, as well as finance mathematics and mathematical biology.

Admission Policy

■ Knowledge and skills
Students will have an understanding of the content of foreign languages, mathematics, science, etc. necessary for studying a specialized field, and will have knowledge equivalent to that of a high school graduate, with a particular focus on basic academic ability in mathematics and physics.

■Thinking ability, judgment ability, expressive ability
This is a level equivalent to graduating from high school, and students will be able to consider things from multiple perspectives and logically, and express and communicate their own thoughts in an easily understandable manner.

■ Motivation, interest, and attitude
Students who understand the characteristics of the department, have an interest in physics, mathematics and related fields of natural sciences, and are motivated and interested in using their specialized knowledge and skills to contribute to society.
