Course Introduction
When my thoughts change, my life changes, and the world changes. This course explores how to think and live like Confucius by examining his philosophy and life, which began with the belief that personal transformation leads to changes in life and the world. As the starting point of Confucian thought, which shaped East Asian politics and society for thousands of years, the core ideas of Confucius are presented through his way of thinking. The course is designed to promote both an understanding of Confucian philosophy and its practical application in daily life. The course is structured around four key approaches: Foundational Thinking, Balanced Thinking, Practical Thinking, Transformative Thinking. Through this course, learners will gain a clear understanding of Confucius’ essential ideas and learn how to approach social and personal issues with wisdom, maintain balance in an ever-changing world, and adopt a mindset that transforms challenges into possibilities.
This course focuses on the global semiconductor industry's value chain. Initially, the course covers the globalization structure and history of the semiconductor industry since 1948, and it delves into national strategies, competition under protectionism, standardization approaches, company value chains, and bottlenecks in technological development. Students will also identify technical choke points and explore next-generation technology strategies, such as materials, parts, equipment, devices, and AI semiconductors in a comprehensive perspective.
This course aims to understand the definition and required properties of general biomaterials used inside and outside the human body, with a particular focus on polymer-based materials. It also covers the concepts of drug delivery and tissue engineering in relation to the biomedical applications of biomaterials.
This course examines the parent–child relationship as a core aspect of human development, focusing on emotional, cognitive, and social dimensions. It explores how this relationship evolves across developmental stages and life tasks, using key theories from developmental psychology and family studies. Students will learn major theoretical frameworks—such as attachment theory, family systems theory, and ecological systems theory—to analyze the interactions between parenting roles, parenting behaviors, and child development. The course covers key characteristics and changes in parent–child relationships from infancy through adolescence, addressing topics such as communication, conflict, and emotional support. Additionally, the course considers how parent–child dynamics vary across diverse family structures, including multicultural families, encouraging awareness of sociocultural influences. Through lectures, case discussions, and assignments, students will develop a broader understanding of parent–child relationships and gain foundational knowledge to support healthy family functioning and positive youth development.
Since the the 2020 pandemic, the interest in investing in both domestic and foreign stocks – as well as cryptocurrencies – has surged again. As retail investors, everyone knows we must be careful about our psychology, yet many behavioral economics books overwhelm readers by listing 30 or 40 different biases. This course cuts through that complexity by focusing on four core concepts that reveal the weak links in our decision-making: over-extrapolation, overconfidence, prospect theory, and social communication bias. Viewing bubbles and crashes through these four lenses, the course aims to serve as a guide for your healthier and more successful investing life going forward.

수강신청 바로가기 함수에 대한 미분적분학의 이해를 바탕으로 벡터장에 대한 미분적분학을 이해하고 의미있는 벡터장에 관한 미적분학을 통하여 물리학, 공학 등에서의 활용을 살펴봅니다.
수강신청 바로가기 본 강의는 미적분학1-활용을 중심으로의 후속 강의입니다. 미적분학1(-활용을 중심으로)는 1변수함수에 관한 미적분학과 그 활용에 중심을 뒀습니다. 이번 미적분학2(-벡터함수와 다 변수 미적분학)은 2변수, 3변수 함수에 관한 미분학으로 벡터함수의 미적분학, 편도함수를 공부하고 그 활용으로 함수의 최댓값, 최솟값을 구해봅니다. 다변수 함수에서 각 변수별 변화율인 편도함수는 다양한 변수에 의해서 영향을 받는 우리의 실생활에서의 문제를 수학적으로 해결하는데 매우 적절한 도구입니다.
수강신청 바로가기 17세기 뉴턴과 라이프니치에 의해 독립적으로 개발된 미적분학은 현대수학 및 과학의 비약적인 발전을 가능하게 하였으며 자연과학, 공학, 사회과학 등 순수 및 응용학문을 망라하여 그 중요성이 대두되고 있습니다. 본 과정은 이러한 추세에 맞춰서 활용에 비중을 두고 엄밀한 이론적 접근을 시도하고 있습니다. 본 과정을 통하여 순수학문의 실생활에서의 활용의 지혜를 얻기를 바랍니다.
수강신청 바로가기 생명이란 무엇일까요?나무, 벌레와 사람 모두 DNA와 단백질 등의 물질들을 가지고 살아가고 있습니다. 생명들의 겉모습은 크게 다를지라도 살아가는 방식에선 큰 차이가 없습니다. 생명들은 생명으로 가져야 할 커다란 질서를 공유하고 있습니다. 이들은 따뜻하고, 낮과 밤을 구분할 줄 알고, 주변을 상황을 알아채고 이에 반응합니다. 35억년 동안 생명들이 가다듬어온 생명의 질서는 무척이나 신비해서 이제 겨우 현대과학을 통해 신비의 성을 아주 조금 씩 파헤치기 시작하고 있습니다.14주에 걸쳐 벌어지는 ‘생명의 과학’ 학습을 통해 생명들이 간직하고 있는 ‘신비’에 도전하고자 합니다. 21세기를 살아가는 교양인으로 필요한 현대 생명과학의 발전상과 현대 생활과의 연관성이 부각됩니다. 고등학생, 대학생, 일반인 등 학습 배경에 관계없이 누구나 수강할 수 있도록 가급적 쉬운 내용으로 현대 생명과학의 중심 줄기를 이야기 형식으로 강의합니다. 풍부한 참고자료와 판서를 통해 학습 효과를 최대한 높이도록 하였습니다. 이번 수업을 통해 생명을 신비로만 바라보지 않고 그 안에 숨겨진 과학성을 함께 깊게 음미해 볼 수 있도록 강의가 설계되었습니다.강의와 병행하여 토론학습 ‘함께’를 진행합니다. ‘함께’는 강의에서 파생되는 의문이나 논쟁거리, 좀 더 알아보고 싶은 내용들을 수강생들이 직접 제시하고, 이들 중 몇 개를 선택하여 수강생 동료들과 협동을 통해 결론이나 답을 찾아가게 됩니다. 혹시 자신에게 숨어있는 ‘창의성’이나 ‘대화 능력’을 발굴할 수 있는 기회가 되었으면 합니다. 생명의 신비 안에 숨어 있는 질문 거리를 찾아 함께 탐구해보는 즐거움을 경험할 수 있었으면 합니다.강의를 통해 생명을 알게 되고 생명을 조금이라도 사랑하게 된다면 더 이상의 보람이 없을 것입니다.
