熱現象はとても身近な現象であるが，熱を物理学的に記述することは容易ではない．現代的な熱の理解は，原子・分子のエネルギーだが，エントロピーを導入することで，こうしたミクロな自由度の詳細によらない普遍的な熱力学の体系が構成される．熱力学において中心的な役割を演じるエントロピーを理解するとともに，自然界における物理法則のなかで，最も基本的といえる熱力学第２法則を学ぶ．

熱に関係した状態量としてのエントロピーを理解し，熱力学第２法則のエントロピーを用いた定式化とその応用など，熱力学の基本的な体系を習得する．

熱平衡状態や示量変数といった熱現象を扱う上での基礎的事項を導入し，熱力学第１法則，熱力学第２法則を定式化し，熱力学の理論体系を学んでいく．熱力学において中心的な役割を演じるエントロピーを理解し，熱力学の応用について学ぶ．以下の順序で講義を進める．授業回数はフィードバックを含め全15回とし，各項目について1~4回の講義を行う.

1. はじめに
講義で学ぶ熱力学について，高校で学んだ内容にふれながら概観する．

2. 理想気体の熱力学と状態量としてのエントロピー
まず，理想気体に限定して，熱力学第1法則や熱機関の効率の問題を説明する．無限小過程において，熱量は不完全微分だが温度で割ることで完全微分にすることができる．このようにして導入される状態量としてのエントロピーを説明し，理想気体のエントロピーの具体的な表式を導出する．

3. 普遍的な熱力学の体系と熱力学第２法則
一般的な系について熱力学の体系を構築していく．熱力学がどのような系を対象とするかについて述べた後，示量変数，内部エネルギー，示強変数，準静的過程等を定義し，熱力学第2法則について説明する．熱機関の最大効率の問題に関して，カルノーサイクルが最大の効率をもつことを示し，クラウジウスの不等式を介して，一般的な系におけるエントロピーを導入する．種々の熱力学関数を導入して，様々な条件下での熱平衡条件について説明する．

4. 熱力学の応用
熱力学の応用として，ファン・デル・ワールス状態方程式の導出と気体の液化条件，多成分系における化学反応での質量作用の法則の導出，ゴムの熱力学などについて説明する．

Nowadays, research in many fields of science is increasingly dependent on large amounts of data. The key problem is how to turn this data into new knowledge. This course covers a wide variety of data analysis and machine learning approaches. The course starts with an introduction of the basic concepts in machine learning. After that, we will introduce regression and classification methods, including linear models, tree-based methods, support vector machines, neural networks, deep learning, and principal component analysis.

Students will learn about basic concepts in data analysis and statistical learning, such as regression and classification problems, and supervised and unsupervised machine learning. Students will become familiar with strengths and weaknesses of several approaches, and learn how to apply them on real datasets.

Lectures 1 to 3. Introduction to data analysis and machine learning: We will discuss data analysis in the context of scientific investigation. Using several examples, the concepts of supervised and unsupervised learning, regression and classification problems, and assessment of model accuracy will be introduced.

Lectures 4 and 5. Linear regression: Introduction to linear regression as a simple supervised learning approach. We will cover simple and multiple linear regression, discuss how to interpret models, and compare linear regression with K-nearest neighbors.

Lectures 6 and 7. Classification methods. We will introduce classification methods, including logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, and quadratic discriminant analysis. We will discuss the differences between them, and their strong and weak points.

Lectures 8 and 9. Model assessment: We will introduce several approaches for evaluating the accuracy of models, including cross-validation and bootstrapping.

Lecture 10. Tree-based methods: Focussing on decision trees, we will introduce tree-based methods for regression and classification. After that, we will cover more advanced methods, such as Bagging, Random Forests, and Boosting.

Lecture 11. Support Vector Machines (SVMs): We will introduce maximal margin classifiers, and use this as a base to exploring SVMs.

Lecture 12: Neural networks and deep learning.

Lecture 13: Unsupervised learning: Introduction to unsupervised learning problems. We will introduce Principal Component Analysis, K-means clustering, and hierarchical clustering.

Lecture 14. Review of course material.

＜Final examination＞

Lecture 15. Feedback

The course is intended for students who have a basic understanding of statistics.

Grading will be based on a final examination (50%) and small quizzes (50%).

The course will follow the textbook. I will specify the sections that will be covered and the sections that will be skipped.

No fixed office hours. Students are requested to make appointments directly or by email.

Academic writing & listening

For the development of students' skills in English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP), English Writing-Listening A (EWLA) consists of three components: writing, listening, and vocabulary.

For practice with writing, students identify, recognize, or understand basic elements of academic writing and, then, recall and apply this knowledge in the process of organizing and revising a short academic essay of at least 300 words. Under the guidance of the instructor they learn necessary foundational 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 general academic discourse presented aurally
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of essay introduction paragraphs (i.e., hook, topic statements, general statements and thesis statement) and apply this knowledge to write suitable introduction paragraphs for short academic essays
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of body paragraphs (i.e., topic sentence, supporting sentences, detail sentences, concluding sentence) and apply this knowledge to write suitable body paragraphs for short academic essays
- Identify the locations, functions, and features of the standard elements of conclusion paragraphs (i.e., summary of main points, final statement) and apply this knowledge to write suitable conclusion paragraphs for short academic essays
- Recognize basic methods of maintaining the unity (e.g., definitions) and coherence (e.g., transitional words) of ideas in short academic essays, and apply this knowledge to writing.
- Recall and apply basic conventions (e.g., punctuation) when formatting short academic essays
- Understand basic paraphrasing techniques (e.g., using synonyms, changing structure) to integrate information from external sources, recognize basic citation conventions, and utilize this knowledge to avoid plagiarism
- Understand the writing process and utilize it for drafting and editing to produce short academic essays
- Combine knowledge of (i) the structure of a short academic essay, with allowances made for rhetorical style such as problem-solution and argumentation, and (ii) the writing process, and apply this knowledge to produce a short academic essay of at least 300 words

In-class activities are related to the contents of the textbook. Though there may be some adjustments in certain cases, the schedule of this course is as follows:

Chapter 1 Introduction to Academic Writing
Chapter 2 Paragraphs & Topic Sentences
Chapter 3 Supporting Sentences
Chapter 4 Paragraph Writing
Chapter 5 Writing Process
Chapter 6 Introduction Paragraph
Chapter 7 Conclusion Paragraph
