Introduction

Information science in the Department of Information Sciences is comprised of the 3 fields of "basic mathematical information," which handles "information" related to various nature, social and human phenomena in a mathematical manner with mathematics as the basis, "applied mathematical information," which handles basic mathematical information in a practical manner, and "computer science," which handles systems that process information; the aim of this department is to foster the ability to quantify information and carry out scientific analysis.

• Learn broad, specialized basics up until the first semester of the third year, and study an area of specialty in depth starting in the second semester of the third year based on individual guidance by staff members.
• Carry out education and research on fields that serve as the core for information science, such as information mathematics, quantum information, genetic information, theory of applied probability, statistical mathematics, combinatorial theory, artificial intelligence, software science, etc., and cultivate human resources who have sufficiently acquired basic knowledge on information science and who can be successful in the diversifying 21st century society.
