The education program consists of four majors: Pure Mathematics, Mathematical Analysis, Applied Informatics and Computer Science. The major of Pure Mathematics includes algebra, topology, and differential geometry. Mathematical Analysis includes differential equations, real and complex analysis, applied mathematics, and statistics. The majors of Applied Informatics and Computer Science include basic theories of computer science/engineering, programming languages, numerical methods, software engineering, databases, multimedia engineering and scientific visualization, along with practical exercises.Mathematics URL: http://www.math.shimane-u.ac.jp/Computer Science URL:http://www.cis.shimane-u.ac.jp/The department offers education and research related to the areas of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and electronic engineering. Students study a wide range of basic theories related to the areas of this department during their first two years. They then select one of three undergraduate courses:A : Control systems and engineering mechanics,B : Power, communication and instrumentation engineering, C : Electronic devices and solid-state physics.These courses include a sub-curriculum related to computer literacy and programming, utilizing a comprehensive computer system for educational purposes.21The Department of Mathematics was formed when Shimane University was founded in 1949. The Department of Information Science was established in 1989. After several reorganizations, our department reached its present state by integrating these two departments in 1995.Mathematics is an indispensable part of a wide range of human activities. Traditionally, Japanese counted it as one of the three basic elements for primary education: “reading”, “writing” and “computing”. Advanced mathematics seeks beauty in numbers and figures, and also provides tools and language to analyze and describe various natural and social phenomena.Information and computer science/engineering support the basis of IT society. Nowadays, IT enables us to communicate easily with people far away, and to send and receive information immediately across the world. Information and computer science/engineering are thus indispensable parts Interdisciplinary Faculty of Science and Engineering
