Nanotechnology is an emerging field that covers a wide range of technologies which are presently under development in nanoscale. It plays a major role in the development of innovative methods to produce new products, to substitute existing production equipment and to reformulate new materials and chemicals with improved performance resulting in less consumption of energy and materials and reduced harm to the environment as well as environmental remediation. Environmental applications of nanotechnology address the development of solutions to the existing environmental problems, preventive measures for future problems resulting from the interactions of energy and materials with the environment, and any possible risks that may be posed by nanotechnology itself. This course gives a comprehensive review on the ongoing research and development activities on environmental remediation by nanotechnology.

The course examines the basic theory of matrix and linear equations, including: concept, property and computation of determinants; operation of matrices; special matrices; inverse matrix; rank and elementary transformation; judgment and structure of solutions; linear relations of vectors; concept and property of eigenvalues and eigenvectors; conditions of a matrix similar to a diagonal matrix; methods to decide the sign of quadratic form; and an application on optimization.

This course introduces economic perspectives and methods in order to analyze problems in environmental protection and resource utilization, policy, measures, and institutional arrangements. This course starts from the concept of economics, introducing corresponding analysis models, and conducting in-depth discussions in conjunction with latest cutting-edge research results.

The course provides a study of the biological and social attributes of human beings and discusses anthropological perspective of human biology and social problems, as well as the progress of research in the field of anthropology. Topics include the interaction of geographical environment and genes to make humans walk upright on two legs; hair degeneration, developed sweat glands, brains and other unique physical characteristics; the genetic structure, history, language, culture and customs of various ethnic groups and tribes in the past and present; the formation of the Chinese nation and the historical, cultural, and genetic characteristics of various ethnic groups; human evolution and human health; the application in the field of forensic medicine; and future development, direction, and prospects of anthropology.

This course examines the basic theories, characteristics, and problems of industrial economics; the competition and strategic interaction between industries and enterprises; non cooperative game theory; and structure behavior performance (SCP).
