Course Description |
(Objectives) This lecture may be devoted to the fundamental operation principles of electron devices including their engineering science and design. (Outline of Class and Contents) Electron (solid state) devices are representative with diodes, BJT/MOS transistors, and their integrated circuits (IC) which are found in PC, TV, celluar phones, copy machines etc. The lecture is recommended for electronic/electric engineering students taking their first course in electron devices, in which they are hoped to have some knowledges to quantum mechanics and solid state physics. The lecture was proceeded following the textbook; from Chap.1 (Basics of Quantum Mechanics) to Chap.8 (Photonic Devices), totally about 500 pages. After some important points in each Chapter being explained, several review questions were assigned as a homework every week. As the final report, selected problems in each Chapter were assigned for evaluations. (Assessment Policy) Answers for review questions and the final report are overall objects for the grade evaluations. |

Course Description |
(Objectives) Computational methods have replaced analytical methods already in many fields of science and engineering, and their importance is still increasing. The aim of the lecture is to provide fundamental criteria for the choice of numerical methods, give an overview about some available methods in some fields, and give ideas about performance-oriented implementation for such methods. Depending on the background and interest of the auditory, some subjects can be changed. (Outline of Class and Contents) 1. Simple MATLAB-Synthax 2. How to write better programs 3. Non-numerical methods: Monte-Carlo techniques 4. Representation of Numbers 5. Elementary numerical analysis: What are numerical errors, and how to get "correct" results from calculations "with error" 6. Graphics 7. Introduction to numerical Linear algebra and how to draw a line through more than 2 points (or maybe not) 8. Polynomials and Roots 9. Solving ordinary differential equations 10. Performance analysis: Which algorithm take long, which are fast, and when does it matter 11.Programming Paradigms: From spaghetti-code to object-orientation, and what does one really need in science and engineering (Asessment Policy) Presence in the lecture, weekly homework during the term and one mid-term exam and one at the end of the term. Comment: Participants should apply for an account at the Computer Center 1 Week before the start of the lecture, if possible !!! |
