江戸時代から科学の子ども。
"From the Edo period, science's children."
My translation here may not be super great - it's backed up by looking up and seeing that the Shimadzu Corporation has always made instruments for educational scientific measurement and was founded in the Meiji, 1875, which is only in the decade after the end of the Edo period.
- lmm 5y ago科学 is science, not tuition.
- JetAlone 5y agoAh, I misrecognized the Kanji 「科」as「料」, sorry. Editing now. Makes a lot more sense this way. 「料学」gets translated to "fees" which I took to be "tuition".
- malikolivier 5y agoNever heard such a word as 料学. Tuition is usually called 学費.
- JetAlone 5y agoYou're right, 学費 is a better word than the one I mis-recognized. In my defense, there is a book titled "やさしい料学", and I found a small handful of other instances through a search.

- whym 5y ago> やさしい料学 It seems like that's also a typo or scanno of 科学. Aside from the one letter, everything else about that book matches the bibliographic information of another book whose alternative title (or subtitle) is "やさしい科学": http://webcatplus.nii.ac.jp/webcatplus/details/book/isbn/9784384160154.html?txt_isbn=9784384160154 http://webcatplus.nii.ac.jp/webcatplus/details/book/isbn/978...
