授業の目的 【英語】 Goals of the Course | | The first part (Fujiwara) of the course provides a brief look at the classical Galois theory (theory of symmetries of algebraic equations) from a categorical viewpoint, following the idea of Grothendieck in 1960's.
In the second part (Hesselholt), more detailed basics of category theory will be discussed. The theory provides a useful language in algebraic and geometric theories in pure mathematics, and also in applied mathematics such as computer science.
The subject for the third part (Hayashi) is on information. This course briefly explain how to mathematically formulate information-theoretical security. |

到達目標 【英語】 Objectives of the Course | | In part I (Fujiwara), students should learn some basic ideas on Galois theory from a categorical viewpoint.
In part II (Hesselholt), participants should learn some of the key new phenomena, which separate category theory from set theory, including limits and colimits, adjoint functors, and Grothendieck's theorem that, in the category of sets, finite limits and filtered colimits commute.
In part III (Hayashi): Understanding the basics of information-theoretical security. |

成績評価の方法と基準 Course Evaluation Method and Criteria | | Grades are assigned based on solutions to weekly problem sets. The course grade is based on a final numerical grade calculated as Max(I+II,I+III,II+III)/2, where I, II, and III are the number of points (between 0 and 100) in each of the three parts of the course. |

履修の際のアドバイス Advice | | The most important thing that you learn as a mathematician is what a *definition* is and that a *proof* is. It is not enough to almost understand a definition. You really need to understand definitions completely and be able to state a definition without any mistakes at all. |
