Linear Algebra II and Mathematics Teaching-Licence Requirements

This page explains the course status of Linear Algebra II and how it is counted in the mathematics subject requirements for a teaching licence.

Course status and placement

In the 2025 Tokyo Senju Campus tables for the System Design Engineering Faculty, the Engineering Faculty, and the Future Science Faculty, Linear Algebra II is listed as a required course in the algebra subject group. It carries 2 credits and is offered in the second semester of the first year as a lecture. The course is also identified under teaching-licence code 110, Algebra. The course notes state that students must earn 4 credits from the designated course group.

Future Science Faculty: course classification and licence-required status

In the 2025 Future Science Faculty table for the specialist subject requirements of the mathematics teaching licence, Linear Algebra II is listed as a 2-credit required course. However, the course is not shaded. In this table, shading indicates that a course is required for the teaching licence, while the required/elective/free classification is a separate category. Therefore, the two classifications should not be treated as identical.

Engineering Faculty: contribution to the 210-hour mathematics requirement

For the 2025 Engineering Faculty mathematics requirements, the required total is 210 hours. Linear Algebra II contributes 30 hours from its 2 credits. The listed courses and hour values are: Linear Algebra I, 30 hours; Linear Algebra II, 30 hours; Calculus and Exercises I, 60 hours; Calculus and Exercises II, 60 hours; Vector Analysis, 30 hours; and Fourier Analysis, 30 hours. Students must acquire 210 hours in total, including the required courses.
