Materials Informatics
In the current society, it is essential in all fields to appropriately exploit “big data” for finding rules and/or making predictions/decisions. This course gives fundamental knowledges and basic skills for handling large-scale data sets with the aid of computers.
This course aims to (1) teach foundations of statistics and computation for processing and analyzing a given data set, and (2) help students to understand and apply various computer software tools for data analysis to get new findings.
In each week we give a lecture and an exercise session.

Note1 : Materials Informatics are recommended courses to be taken as major courses in the standard curriculum of the following Graduate Majors: Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Systems and Control Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Science and Engineering, Energy Science and Engineering, Engineering Sciences and Design, Human Centered Science and Biomedical Engineering, and Nuclear Engineering. The courses taken as such can be counted towards completion requirements for this educational program.
Note2：“Fundamentals of data science” and “Exercises in fundamentals of data science” in the DSAI program are equivalent to “Materials Informatics.” These credits are compatible with each other.
Note3 : Students who were unable to take the “Materials Simulation” course offered by the School of Materials and Chemical Technology during the master’s program must take “Progressive Materials Simulation, MIS.A603” in the doctoral program.
