到達目標 【英語】
Objectives of the Course | | The following two independent subjects are proposed:
1) Functional analysis: The aim is study functional analysis with a special emphasis on spectral theory. Scattering theory, index theory for C*-algebras, non-commutative topology, are some of the possible topics studied during this seminar.
2) Data assimilation: The aim is to study various tools of data assimilation, and to work on some concrete problems. Once a sufficient understanding is reached, interactions with the data assimilation research team from RIKEN will be possible. |

授業の内容や構成
Course Content / Plan | | | The seminar consists in regular meetings and oral presentations made by students. Each participant is working on a different subject and with a different support (book or articles). Everybody can benefit from the work of the other students though the presentations and the explanations provided. The seminars and the interactions are taking place in English. |

注意事項
Notice for Students | | | It is certainly easier to improve your English skill in the quiet environment of a seminar rather than later in a busy life. |
