Public Seminars - Science in real life

Just yesterday, Department of Mathematics and Department of Biotechnology had a public seminar. The presenters are the dean of Faculty of Science and Maths, Ms Helena Margaretha, the head of Biotechnology Department, Mr Reinhard Pinontoan and myself. As we all three are from different background, there were three talks, each talked different topics but all the talks had a common thread, which is Science in the Real Life.

For your information, the seminar is part of the student activities, so called Discovery III. I will discuss more about what is Discovery III in the next posts. We are very honored to get a chance to have a seminar. As it was a public seminar, the topics is rather general. The audience mostly are teachers and teachers to be.

Even though the topic is about science in our real life, as my background is mathematics it is quite hard to give a talk about this. Yes, we know that we use math in our everyday life but still the daily math is significantly different with  the university mathematics. However, we are very happy that there are still a lot of people interested in our seminar. Thank to the students who organised such an event.
