*Scholarship Alert!*
DOST-ASTHRDP scholarship is available for applicants to the PhD in Applied Mathematics programs. UP Teaching Assistantship is also available.

Seize this opportunity to further your academic journey at UPLB — a place where knowledge grows and futures are shaped.

Every year on March 14, the world celebrates the International Day of Mathematics (IDM).

This year’s theme is “Mathematics and Hope.”

Thales said, "Hope is the most universal of all human possessions." More than 2,500 years later, we can also say that mathematics is one of the most universal human possessions. Connecting hope and mathematics creates opportunities for deeper insight and knowledge. Mathematics gives us hope to understand reality and truth clearly, share common definitions, learn cooperation, use data responsibly, find win-win strategies, and more. https://www.idm314.org/
