We celebrate this achievement and wish you all the best on your engineering journey. 🌻💚

Democracies are built by the power of the people, but what can we do to maintain it? How can we ensure that outcomes truly represent the collective preferences of society?

Mathematics has some interesting applications in testing systems for fairness and representation and the mathematical study of elections is a field of its own.

Today’s Math Monday looks into the famous Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem and its surprising insights on dictators and ranked voting systems.

While truth tables are a convenient way to show that two statements are logically equivalent, working with them tends to be tedious and, for some, more computational than elegant. In this post, we prove two well-known logical equivalences using only their basic definitions, without any recourse to truth tables.

Political dynasties are more than just an issue, these are something we can actually measure!

From graph theory to network analysis and many more branches of mathematics, these helps us understand how power stays within families, how they always win, and how they influence our daily lives.

In the Philippines, where many positions are held by members of the same families, we can quantify this and reveal patterns we often do not see. Who holds power? How often do they win? And what can we do about it?

Given a matrix, one can build an equation special to that matrix known as its characteristic equation. One interesting fact is that plugging a matrix itself into its own characteristic equation satisfies it!

March 14 is a day for π, mathematics, and pie!

For over a century, the UP Mathematics Club has continued to promote mathematics and serve the studentry. Like pi, our love for math has no end.

The countdown is in its final hours! With only 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗟𝗘𝗙𝗧 to register, the blueprint for 𝗥𝟯𝟰𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 is officially here.

This March, one of the most prestigious inter-high school mathematics competitions ✏️ in the country returns to its home in UP Diliman.

See you there!
