Mathematics @ UPH

This is Mathematics @ UPH's blog. We post our student projects, interesting videos of our activities, our research projects and other information related to our faculty. Please do not hesitate to ask us for more information, or you can just drop a comment into one of the following posts here. Also, you can give a testimonial to our department if you like.

One of events specially presented by students of Faculty of Science and Mathematics. Discovery is an annual event and this year is the third one.

This project is a joint project between UPH and Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB). Also, this project became a topic for a student's final project. This research addresses the issue of portfolio optimization modeling with Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall as the risk measures, and risk factor increments governed by Generalized Hyperbolic distribution.

We have still got it.

Discovery III is back.

Come and participate.

The modeling of tumor growth by our students (Yohanes, Michael and Andreas). In human body, cancer cells behave like a predator to the normal cells. In the early stage, some medicine and treatment could overcome the disease and the patient will be healed. However, if the patient is late to recognize the symptoms the cancer will grow and it is very hard for the patient to be back normal.

Another Student project in 'Mathematics Modeling' Class by Ellen, Andre and Yoel. It is about analysis of the spread of forest fire. The disaster of Forest Fire often occurs in country like Indonesia, Australia during dry season or summer. Our students tried to model the behavior fire spreading during the forest fire.

Math at UPH sent its students to compete in a National Science Olympiad held by PT Pertamina (OSN-Pertamina) and won the province level. In the national level, Math at UPH also won the second place.

Discovery at UPH is a Math and Science Competition for high school students held by students of Faculty of Science and Mathematics. This event is held annually and this was the second event (January 17-21, 2011)

This is one of Mathematics @ UPH's activities. We were doing a community service by training teachers in one least developed area in Indonesia (Teluk Naga, Banten). We trained them to teach Science and Math subjects more interestingly. We taught them how to make a simple tool to make a science demonstration in a class room. [fig]

Human iris is similar to human fingerprint. It is unique. Have you ever seen a movie showing thieves trying to unlock a safe, however the safe is equipped with iris recognition lock so nobody could open the safe other than the owner of the eyes. Here, our students are asked to mathematically model an iris. How could one iris differ one to another? [fig]

This is another one of our students projects in Mathematical modeling. The topic is Image Compression. The image sometimes comes in not one format but in different format. It could be jpg, bmp, png and many more. Each extension has their capability. Image compression is a process to reduce the size of the image in such a way such that the quality of the image is not reduced. Our students have been challenged to derive an algorithm to do such an image compression. [fig]

Finger print is one of applications in real life that can be modeled mathematically. Students at Mathematics UPH were challenged to build mathematical model based on this application. [fig]

This is another student project at Mathematics @ UPH. The course is Mathematical Modeling which challenge our students to build a mathematical model from a real life problem. Cryptography is one of the real life mathematical problems that widely used in our daily life. Credit card fro shopping, password for our email are just examples of this application. [fig]

Banyak orang beranggapan bahwa matematika adalah ilmu yang sulit untuk dipelajari dan tidak terpakai di dalam pekerjaan, dan paling ujung-ujungnya menjadi guru matematika di sekolah atau menjadi dosen. Tetapi anggapan mereka salah, justru sebaliknya matematika terpakai di semua bidang, contohnya di bank, Asuransi sebagai aktuaris, investasi, dana pensiun, managemen risiko, bursa efek Jakarta, IT, Engineering, Operation Research, dll. Oleh sebab itulah saya memilih jurusan matematika di UPH. Banyak pengalaman yang saya dapatkan selama belajar Applied Mathematics disini, khususnya tentang actuary studies, tidak hanya sebatas mempelajari ilmu saja dan tidak tahu digunakan untuk apa, tetapi setelah saya bekerja di perusahaan Asuransi pun sebagai aktuaris, ilmu-ilmu yang telah dipelajari itu terpakai semuanya

Banyak orang salah tafsir, menganggap matematika itu sekadar ilmu hitung-menghitung, Padahal, matematika adalah bahasa yang menggunakan logika sebagai dasar. Akhirnya, saya terbiasa untuk menggunakan logika matematika untuk menjelaskan berbagai hal dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

This another student project in Mathematics course called Mathematical Modelling. Our student mathematically modeled this problem to analyze and to understand the truth behind Crystallization. [fig]

At Mathematics @ UPH, we have a course that will challenge our students that is so-called Mathematics Modeling. One of the projects for students batch 2006 was to mathematically model an iBot. This is the poster created by our student. Enjoy! [fig]
