Students acquire the ability to understand the environmental phenomena as an environmental system, to describe the system
as a mathematical model (differential equation) , and to solve the equation and predict the change in the environment.
This course aims to develop the ability to view the global aquatic environment as a system consisting of water, energy, and
material flow and to model natural phenomena related to the aquatic environment using mathematical formulas. In the first
half of the lecture, students will acquire basic knowledge of hydrology, such as describing the flow of water and energy,
the basic laws, and how to model the water cycle. In the second half of the lecture, students learn how to solve differential
equations of mathematical models analytically and numerically, respectively, using the phenomenon of runoff from rainfall
as a concrete example, and learn techniques to predict the water cycle by utilizing numerical models.
- To obtain the ability to describe the phenomena related to environment around us as an environmental system using the physical laws, conservation, movement, and state equations.
- To obtain the ability to explain the mathematical models with physical quantity considering its dimension.
- To obtain the ability to understand the differential equation and to solve it through analytical and numerical methods.
