B4 Reading and Writing Seminar
This seminar is intended to improve reading and writing skills of bachelor 4th year students and will be held every week during all the academic year.
Attendants of the seminar are requested to read certain book and write a report about the book. During the seminar, attendants are required to review and give comment to others reports.
It is obvious that the concept of set is related to the basis of the modern mathematics, however, it is also very important in the natural science, humanities, social science, and many other fields. And it takes the very fundamental and important roll of systems theory for the aplication of systems engineering.
Systems theory provides a language to relate systems, and to describe in this language is called formalization. It is desirable that the language used for formalization is based upon mathematical language due to operational purpose. Moreover, object system is various and complex so this language is needed to express the property. For this reason, the systems theory is founded on the set theory and logic.
For the purpose of learning basics of systems theory, we study set theory systematically. This seminar is intended for bachelor 4th year students and will be held every thursday from 2:00pm to 5:00pm during all the academic year.
We use the following textbook:
G. F. Simmons, "Introduction to Topology and Modern Analysis", McGRAW-HILL, 1963.
Attendants of the seminar are requested to make presentation and solve the exercises of this textbook.
This seminar is intended for graduate 1st year master students and will be held every week during all the academic year.

Usually we pick up a book related to system theory as text book. All participants are requested to make a presentation on a part of the book in around one hour using Power Point presentation tool.

PHOTO2003, PHOTO2004 On every last friday of a month, the International Seminar will be held instead of Symbolic Logic Seminar. under graduate student are requested to make presentations on certain country. (Usually, one of the motherlands of foreign students in the Lab.)
After the seminar, every one in the Lab. who is willing to attend will go together to enjoy the ethnic food of the country (Usually, foreign students in the Lab. will introduce a restaurant where we can enjoy the ethnic food of his/her country.)

Interdisciplinary Skill Training Program
In this seminar, the participating students, who have different knowledge background must collaborate to propose solutions for the given problems.In 2003, Iijima Laboratory of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Senoo Laboratory, and the Tanabe seminar of Yokohama National University jointly carried out this seminar.
PHOTO2003，PHOTO2004 Every week, after the Tuesday Seminar, we gather at Room525 to have some snack and drink together. Usually we decide our summer camp plan and many day-to-day issues during this small party. It is a good chance to share information and ask for advice about job hunting etc.
PHOTOS We are not just bookworms! We also have our party animal instinct! Throughout the year, we have many celebrations, both within the Laboratory members as well as with members from other laboratories. There are three main events:
- 1. New academic year welcome event (we do this at the same time when the "Hanami" is held in Japan. Hanami means, literally, "to watch flowers"; in Japan, the cherry tree is considered a national symbol, and this is the time when it blossoms, so people in Japan pour into every park in the nation with family and friends, to eat and drink while appreciating this beautiful nature scenery)
- 2. Year's Farewell Party (Bounenkai)
- 3. Welcome party for newly enrolled students (Sinkan) and Graduation celebration (Oidashi)
