14th March each year is the date chosen to celebrate the international Day of Mathematics (IDM). The date is chosen for this worldwide celebration is due to many countries commemorate Pi Day on that date as they write the date as 3/4 and and it is a fact that the value of Pi is approximately 3.14.
This year, the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology through their Mathematical-based undergraduate programme, the Computational Science Programme will also join in the celebration by organizing some talks and forum. As this year the date falls on Sunday, the faculty will have the event on the 15th March 2021 virtually via the Webex platform at 1400 hrs (GMt +8)
The event will see two speakers namely Associate Professors Dr Norma Alias from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia who will share a talk on “Mathematical for Big Data” and the faculty’s own Associate Professor Dr Jane Labadin who will talk on “Mathematics for Epidemics”
The event will end with a forum discussing on the theme of the celebration “Mathematics for a Better World”
