Minerals are important for society to function, but it is useful to know how they are formed, extracted and converted into useful products. This course will introduce students to earth sciences, with a focus on mineral resources, as well as looking at how these resources are converted into useful materials and what wastes are produced in the process. We will focus on how minerals can be considered "critical" to society now and in the future.

From this course the students will be expected to know how mineral resources are situated geologically, how they are measured, how mining and minerals processing leads to final products that are used in society and what the implications of the extraction of minerals are for the environment.

This course will cover the following topics:

Basics of Geology and Earth Sciences with a focus on mineral resources

図学Aでは投象法の基本を扱っているのに対し、図学Bでは立体図形の諸様態の作図を行う。具体的には、立体の切断や回転、立体に光をあてたときの陰影、立体が重なりあったところできるかたち（相関）などである。これらを主に正投象によって示す方法を考える。また、立体を透視図（パース）として表現するための原理と作図方法を習得する。
これらの知識と作図能力は、立体を扱う、あるいは立体を制作する際には不可欠である。また、建築パースや都市パースをはじめとする透視図を作成するために必要である。CADやCGといったコンピューターアプリケーションの基本原理を知る上でも重要な知識といってよい。
作図を伴う専門分野を目指す理系学生には履修を推奨する。文系でも、ルネッサンス以降の西洋美術史や浮世絵以降の日本画に興味のある学生にとって，透視図法の理解は不可欠であり、積極的な履修を歓迎する。
聴くだけの講義ではなく、演習型の授業である。

基本的立体の切断、相貫、陰影などを理解し、投象図として表現できる能力を養う。
また、透視図の原理と作図方法を習得する。

以下の内容を扱う。講義順は前後することがある。
１　　　　　イントロダクション：図学Bで学ぶ内容と立体の基礎
２・３・４ 立体切断の原理：デザルグの定理（配景的アフィン変換と共線変換）
５・６　　　基本立体の作図：柱体・錐体とその切断（正投象）
７・８　　　曲面体（球ほか）の作図と切断（正投象）
９・10　　　立体の相貫（正投象）
11・12　　　立体の相貫としての陰影作図（正投象）
13　　　　　透視図法の原理：中心投象（配景的共線変換）
14　　　　　透視図法の演習
15　　　　　フィードバック

図学Ａが履修済みであれば、他に特別の知識は要らない。
演習的な内容から、履修者人数制限を行う場合がある。
教員免許（中学・高校）として「数学」を選択する人は、是非「図学Ｂ」まで履修してほしい。

統計に関する知識は、実験、試験、調査などの結果を用いた実証研究を行う上でなくてはならないものである。生活に関わるさまざまな効果やリスクがデータとともに語られ、生活者としても統計に対するリテラシーが求められるようになった。企業活動では、情報技術の発展によって、日々膨大なデータが生成されており、その活用が求められるようになった。
本講は、研究や、生活、社会・経済活動に不可欠な統計を、集計・分析し、理解する力を養うことをひとつめの目的として、科目「統計入門」で扱えなかった、やや発展的な話題を中心に講義することで、より発展的な統計・統計学の学習への礎となることを目指す。
本講義は、文部科学省のモデルカリキュラム(応用基礎レベル)の、データサイエンス基礎・データエンジニアリング基礎・AI 基礎をバランスよくカバーする形で構成されている。
具体的には、平均の差の検定、分散分析、相関と回帰・判別分析の基礎について解説するとともに、一般化線形モデルによるこれらの統一的な理解を行う。さらに、因果推論の基本的な考え方と、具体的な方法についても解説を行う。
さらに、本講では第二の目的として、近年注目されている人工知能について、その基本的な考え方や応用について理解することで、現在も目まぐるしい早さで発展している当該分野への橋渡しを行う。近年の人工知能技術は膨大なデータをもとにした統計的なアプローチに基づいており、統計学がどのような形でその基礎を形作っているかを中心に学ぶ。
具体的には、機械学習における基本的な統計的手法をはじめ、ニューラルネットワーク、深層学習など、近年大きく発展している技術、また、それらの応用として自然言語処理や画像処理などの話題について解説する。
本講は、統計分析手順や人工知能手法の機械的な利用や解釈だけを講義するのではなく、その基礎となる考え方を学ぶことを目指しているが、あくまで直感的な理解を目指すことを主な目標とし、厳密な数学的証明等は避ける。

なお、本講義の単位（2単位）を修得することで、文部科学省が定める数理・データサイエンス・AI教育プログラム応用基礎レベル(MDASH Advanced Literacy)修了証の取得が可能である。修了証取得の手続きについては、講義内で担当教員より指示がある。

Academic writing & listening

For the continued development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening B (EWLB) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary. EWLB aims to advance the skills in EGAP that students learned in EWLA.

For practice with writing, students analyze and evaluate basic elements of academic writing they learned in EWLA; they further identify, recognize, or understand more advanced elements; finally, they recall and apply all acquired knowledge in the process of producing an academic report of at least 1,000 words. By writing substantial academic reports more autonomously, students will acquire advanced academic writing skills as stated in the Course Goal section below.

For practice with listening, students take the online course known as GORILLA (Global Online Resources for International Language Learning Assistance) outside class. They are assessed on their listening proficiency through weekly online assignments, as well as the four tests that the instructor administers in class.

For vocabulary learning, students use the standard reference book titled “Kyoto University Vocabulary Database 1110.” Like the listening component, students independently study words from the general academic list that the instructor assigns (usually 50 words a week) and are tested on a number of these words weekly.

By the end of this course, students will acquire the following skills at varying levels. Students should be able to:
- Recognize and use basic academic words in English
- Process more advanced academic discourse presented aurally
- Analyze topics and develop suitable controlling ideas, thesis statements, and outlines for academic reports
- Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard paragraph-level elements of an academic report (i.e., introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports
- Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard sentence-level elements (e.g., thesis statement, topic sentences, support sentences) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports
- Recognize more advanced methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., repetition of key points) and coherence (e.g., quality of language) of ideas in academic reports, evaluate the unity and coherence of their writing, and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing.
- Utilize, with sufficient accuracy, a broad range of citation conventions when formatting academic reports
- Understand more advanced paraphrasing techniques to integrate information from external sources (e.g., summarizing, quoting), recognize and use more detailed citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism
- Evaluate and integrate supporting evidence and sources to produce an academic report.
- Recognize the formatting conventions of an appropriate reference list and apply this knowledge to generate one for an academic report.
- Recognize particular styles and conventions within academic writing and adopt them appropriately
- Acquire a deeper understanding of the writing process in the production of academic reports after revising drafts with feedback
- Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of an academic report, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as argumentation and cause-effect, (ii) the writing process, and (iii) the evaluation and integration of supporting evidence and sources, and apply this knowledge to produce an academic report of at least 1,000 words

Academic writing & listening

For the continued development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening B (EWLB) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary. EWLB aims to advance the skills in EGAP that students learned in EWLA.

For practice with writing, students analyze and evaluate basic elements of academic writing they learned in EWLA; they further identify, recognize, or understand more advanced elements; finally, they recall and apply all acquired knowledge in the process of producing an academic report of at least 1,000 words. By writing substantial academic reports more autonomously, students will acquire advanced academic writing skills as stated in the Course Goal section below.

For practice with listening, students take the online course known as GORILLA (Global Online Resources for International Language Learning Assistance) outside class. They are assessed on their listening proficiency through weekly online assignments, as well as the four tests that the instructor administers in class.

For vocabulary learning, students use the standard reference book titled “Kyoto University Vocabulary Database 1110.” Like the listening component, students independently study words from the general academic list that the instructor assigns (usually 50 words a week) and are tested on a number of these words weekly.

By the end of this course, students will acquire the following skills at varying levels. Students should be able to:
- Recognize and use basic academic words in English
- Process more advanced academic discourse presented aurally
- Analyze topics and develop suitable controlling ideas, thesis statements, and outlines for academic reports
- Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard paragraph-level elements of an academic report (i.e., introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports
- Analyze and evaluate the locations, functions, and features of the standard sentence-level elements (e.g., thesis statement, topic sentences, support sentences) and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing academic reports
- Recognize more advanced methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., repetition of key points) and coherence (e.g., quality of language) of ideas in academic reports, evaluate the unity and coherence of their writing, and apply the analysis and evaluation when writing.
- Utilize, with sufficient accuracy, a broad range of citation conventions when formatting academic reports
- Understand more advanced paraphrasing techniques to integrate information from external sources (e.g., summarizing, quoting), recognize and use more detailed citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism
- Evaluate and integrate supporting evidence and sources to produce an academic report.
- Recognize the formatting conventions of an appropriate reference list and apply this knowledge to generate one for an academic report.
- Recognize particular styles and conventions within academic writing and adopt them appropriately
- Acquire a deeper understanding of the writing process in the production of academic reports after revising drafts with feedback
- Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of an academic report, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as argumentation and cause-effect, (ii) the writing process, and (iii) the evaluation and integration of supporting evidence and sources, and apply this knowledge to produce an academic report of at least 1,000 words
