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.

Officially graduated
In the first of March, the Department of Mathematics, Universitas Pelita Harapan had 13 candidatures to be graduated in the next graduation ceremony. Together with the board of bachelor degree, we had decided that all of the candidatures have fulfilled all the requirements and we can now congratulate all of them.
The interesting thing is that eleven of them are not only graduated from Department of Mathematics. They have another degree from the same university but from the Department of Informatics. They are the first batch of the double degree program that have successfully completed their double degree.
One of the advantages of the double degree program is about the final project. Even though each department in this university has its requirements when doing the final project, the double degree students are required to do only one final project. Of course, the topic must be significantly related to both department they are in. Fortunately, mathematics and informatics are not so much different. There are a lot of topics that works in both departments. Hopefully, I would be able to publish the topics of their final project in a poster (coming soon).
