[講師の紹介]

Jim De Witt, a graduate in Physics from Caltech who had previously worked at NASA, has been teaching for many years at several universities in Japan, including Kyoto University, giving classes on science, writing, ESL, computer graphics, and other areas. Mr. De Witt also has extensive experience in writing, editing, and proofreading scientific documents for publication in international journals.

[概 要]

This course, intended primarily for students of the Master’s Degree Course in Mathematics, will focus on the presentation of mathematical ideas in the English language.

Students will gain knowledge of principles and experience in English communications through informal presentation and discussion of existing articles, and will gradually develop an original article, based on fact or fantasy, in accordance with general structural requirements of mathematics journals for a final, formal presentation in class.

Evaluation will be based on individual participation, effort, and comprehension, without inter-student comparison. Lectures will not focus on grammar or other aspects of language ability, and there will be no assessment of a student’s abilities in these areas. Therefore, no prerequisite level of English ability is prescribed.
