This course aims to provide students with the necessary information and training to support their career development in the areas of biotechnology and biology after graduation from the university. The students will be able to interact with instructors, classmates, and guests with diverse careers from all parts of the world. In addition, this course is run as part of the COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) program with North Carolina State University, to provide the students with more opportunities for professional development, interaction, and networking. The course is very interactive and, besides guidance on preparation of a CV/resume, and cover letter, includes career panels, mock interviews, and peer review sessions.

1. Teaching materials 
 We will use TACT (Tokai Academic Combination Tools; https://tact.ac.thers.ac.jp/portal) to distribute all course-related materials, including recorded lecture videos and handouts, and for relevant communication. TACT will also be used for uploading and submission of the homework. 

 2. Course format (synchronous and asynchronous)
   - Asynchronous. Recorded lectures will be available via TACT one day before the schedule. On the day of the lecture, you are expected to watch the lecture in the morning and work on your assignments. You are strongly encouraged to communicate with the instructors (by email or scheduled meeting) to clarify the lecture contents and any issues related to your homework or discuss any related topic. 
   - Synchronous. The class will be held from 1030 to 1130 every Wednesday unless otherwise specified, on-site or via Zoom, as indicated by the schedule which will be announced later.

Differential equations and dynamical systems are playing an essential role in many research fields, and in particular for describing the evolution of time dependent systems. Our goal is to provide the necessary background information for understanding these evolutions and their asymptotic behaviors. The presentation will be accessible to all students, independently of their major. Students will learn the abstract theory of differential equations and dynamical systems, and will be able to apply this knowledge to their respective field of expertise.

The following subjects will be studied during this course (tentative program)

1) Introduction through examples
2) First order linear systems
3) Initial value problems
4) Dynamical systems
5) Examples in 2D
6) Dynamical systems in higher dimensions
7) Discrete dynamical systems

Studium Generale means "general studies" in Latin and is a series of courses aimed at providing engaging introduction to various science fields for non-majors. Studium Generale A offers exposure to academic topics in natural sciences presented in an accessible way. It provides an opportunity to explore natural science topics outside one`s major or research field. Students will have an opportunity to engage in discussions and cross-cultural communication with participants from other majors and countries.
