Nanotechnology at Yamagata University(SANO, Masahito) 2. Mechanics of waves(LANGTHJEM, Mikael Andersen) 3. AI in Japanese games (GRIMBERGEN, Reijer) Course Description (including Goal and Objectives) Goal   To understand why problems specific to Japan require new technologies and how these technologies are developed at Yamagata University. Objectives 1. To learn and understand Nanotechnology at Yamagata University. 2. To learn some mechanical problems particularly relevant to Japan. The problems have emerged because of Japans special geographical features. 3. To learn the fundamental AI techniques used for game programming and how these techniques are used to make a World Champion level computer program for shogi (Japanese chess) Course Schedule 1 Engineering School at Yamagata University 2 Carbon Nanotubes 1: Introduction 3 Carbon Nanotubes 2: Dispersion and Reactions 4 Carbon Nanotubes 3: Chemical Applications 5 Carbon Nanotubes 4: Physical Applications 6 Earthquakes, tsunamis, and wave mechanics, lecture I 7 Earthquakes, tsunamis, and wave mechanics, lecture II 8 A problem from shipbuilding: Mechanics of the bulbous bow 9 Noise problems related to high-speed trains (Shinkansen) 10 Noise problems in machinery and self-sustained flow oscillations 11 Game programming methods (1): Minimax search and alpha-beta pruning 12 Game programming methods (2): Search optimizations 13 Computational comparison between different games 14 Special techniques for shogi (1): Mate search 15 Special techniques for shogi (2): Realization probability search and the Yamagata University challenge Textbook(s) None Reference(s) None Grading Method Final Report 100   % Message to Students This course only touches upon a few of the many research and teaching activities at the Yamagata University Faculty of Engineering.
