UNM Mathematical Sciences

On 13th October, the School of Mathematics held its annual Welcome Day Lunch to mark the beginning of the 2025/26 academic year and to warmly welcome both new and returning students. The event began with a lively ice-breaking session, followed by a series of entertaining and engaging games thoughtfully prepared by our organizing committee.

The day was filled with excitement as students reunited with friends, made new connections and enjoyed themselves throughout the event. It was an elegant and joyful way to start the academic year through this pleasurable event!

It was a wonderful experience for every participant, providing opportunities to exchange ideas and engage in meaningful conversations with peers and lecturers alike.We extend our gratitude to the organizing team for making this event memorable, and to all the lecturers and students who contributed to this incredible memory together!

On 8 and 9 April, our school was proud to support the STEM Carnival 2025 held at Tenby International School. Over the course of two exciting days, we engaged students with a series of challenging mathematical puzzles at our booth, successfully sparking their curiosity and interest in mathematics. Driven by a desire to overcome obstacles, many students experienced a sense of accomplishment upon solving the puzzles and gained a deeper appreciation for the subject. We hope this experience will inspire them to pursue mathematics further in the future!

On the 30th of September, the School of Mathematical Sciences hosted its annual Welcome Day for the 2024/25 academic year! 🥳

The day was filled with excitement as students reunited with friends and made new connections. With engaging games, activities, and meaningful conversations with peers and lecturers, it was the perfect way to start the academic year on a high note!

A big thank you to the organizing team, lecturers, and all the students who made this event unforgettable! 💙

On 16th October, students from School of Mathematical Sciences had another opportunity to present their summer research projects and share their fascinating findings. Below are the students who completed their summer research papers and presented:

1. Joshah Low Khee Jien - Will mathematics teaching remain unchanged after the pandemic?
2. Lai Wan Yi - Introduction to mathematical finance
3. Sean Oh Hao Xuan - Understanding Imbalanced data
4. Sih Jia Feng - Evaluating the prediction accuracy of ANN and BNN mixture model

We extend our gratitude to all the presenters for sharing their inspiring research, which sparked engaging discussions after the event.

On October 9th, students from the School of Mathematics presented their Summer Research projects. The presenters and their research titles were:

1. Nigel Ng: Fractional Calculus

2. Too Zi Ying: Factors Affecting Landed Property

3. Sophie Aiyuni: Factors Influencing Condominium Prices

4. Ewen Lim: Introduction to Conformal Prediction

5. Larissa Chee: BNN Compared to ANN

We extend our gratitude to all the students who participated in the summer research program for sharing their interesting findings.

On October 2nd, the School of Mathematical Sciences held its industrial sharing session for the 2024/2025 academic year. Six outstanding students shared their valuable internship experiences with us:
Larissa Chee (Intel)
Chan Hui Wen (Public Bank)
Ewen Lim (NIQ)
Ang Xin (Abbott Laboratories)
Ivan Leong (Great Eastern)
Sieh Ming Kuan (2x)

We extend our gratitude to these presenters for sharing their invaluable experiences with their juniors.

We are thrilled to announce that Year 3 Math and Data Science students Ang Xin, Teo Xin Wen, and Jasmine Wong, along with Yeo Yi Xin from the School of Computer Science and Areeya Foo from Taylor's University, won 2nd prize in the Public Category of the Air Selangor Data and Digital Hackathon 2024. Their app, 'Smart Meter,' offers solutions for contractors, consumers, and smart meter associates, featuring demand forecasting, automated water meter tracking, and lab result integration. Congratulations to the team!

The photos featured our first-year mathematical sciences students. Meeting them on September 19, 2024, was fantastic. We conducted an orientation to help them become acquainted with the university and learning environment.
Watch out for the upcoming exciting event, a welcome party hosted by the seniors on September 30 in UNM's UG Room HB04. It's a fantastic opportunity for all School of Mathematical Sciences students to connect and form new friendships😍.

On July 25, 2024, the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) of the School of Mathematical Sciences convened to discuss and explore new pathways for enhancing the school's programmes and research initiatives. The photo shows the members of IAB after the meeting.
