Program in Mathematics, Electronics and Informatics

The 21st century is the century of information technology. It is thus an urgent societal task to nurture individuals who combine a high degree of expertise in the information related areas of science and engineering with the technological skills needed to push information society to the next level. The areas that relate to information technology are, in fact many and diverse, ranging from the abstract and theoretical over hardware and software to engineering. The discovery of creative ideas that may lead to innovative breakthroughs and the work of putting such ideas into practice require a familiarity with a range of subjects from basic science to application, which affords comprehensive understanding and interdisciplinary insight. This major is divided into the three areas of mathematics, electric and electronic systems, and information systems. By providing an environment suitable for the natural synergy of these different disciplines we hope to provide conditions in which comprehensive and interdisciplinary education that furthers the development of science and technology related to mathematics, electronics and informatics can take place. The goal is to educate high-grade specialists with broad insight, who can be leaders in the advancement of the information society to come.

One goal of mathematics is the discovery of new mathematical facts. For this purpose, it is certainly important to attend all kinds of lectures, but it is indispensable to experience live mathematics in advanced seminars at university. During the seminar, the structure of mathematical facts becomes clear logically and the students can gradually find the joy of understanding mathematics. In order to lead students to realize the frontier of research, we professors select good and appropriate topics. He or she really feels that “I am so happy to have continued to do mathematics” at the moment when the fruit of two years of efforts is gathered in a master's thesis. No less than the students, we also are looking forward to that moment, whenever we teach and advise them every year. The great 19th century mathematician Gauss said: “A good way to determine whether a field is truly a science is by asking how much mathematics is used in it.” We hope that backgrounds in mathematics will assist the students visibly and invisibly in their future activities in various areas.

The electronics department puts great emphasis on continuity with the preparation the students have received in their specialty at the college level and offers a well-organized curriculum that leads to a high level of expertise in the fields of electrics, electronics and telecommunication. The curriculum is distinguished by two main characteristics. (1) It tries to educate individuals, who combine creativity and leadership that may at any time produce a technological revolution in the fields of electrics, electronics and telecommunications with excellent human qualities. (2) At the same time it aims to nurture and give the scientific foundations to individuals who may grow into highly original researchers, who are aware of the social relevance of their work, and who are able to use the technologies of various fields synergistically. Research concentrates mainly on four areas: materials and device oriented research in opto-electronics and integrated circuits, telecommunications and circuit systems research for application in wireless communications and computers, robotics and electricity oriented research in energy and control systems, and research on systems design for e-commerce and advanced transportation systems. In all these areas active research into hardware design for electrics, electronics and telecommunication is the main objective.

The Course in Information and Computer Sciences aims to educate first class experts in the field of informatics. We carry out research on the frontiers of science in the areas of information devices, software, data and knowledge processing, biometrics, signal processing and communication, and human interface technologies. Detailed instructions are conducted in small lectures and seminars. Students are encouraged to present their research results at both national and international conferences. We hope to foster students in developing high creativity and a broad range of expertise from basic to applied. A special feature of this course is that an integrated six year system has been established that links undergraduate training to education for a master’s degree. We try to cultivate students’ true academic ability in adapting to changes in technology, a high capacity to absorb the newest scientific innovations, originality, and the ability to perform on the international stage. We encourage students to proceed to the doctoral course, in the hope of turning out researchers who will open up new frontiers in the field.
