Mathematical
Sciences Week (MathSci Week) >
The biggest activity of the organization and probably one of the
most rigorous in the whole university is held on the third or
fourth week of August. The talent and energy of most of the members
are almost exhausted to nothing as they organize two quiz contests,
facilitate a teachers' seminar, and mount an exhibit in a span
of five days.
Annual
Search for the UPLB Math Wizard >
One of the quiz contests during the MathSci week, it is the most
prestigious search for the best Math students in the university
in both the individual and team categories.
The
Southern Tagalog Invitational Mathematical Challenge (MatheMatch)
> It is the only quiz contest
of its kind and scope in the whole Southern Tagalog Region (Region
IV). Top high school students compete for being the best in the
field of Mathematics.
Puzzle
of the Day and Puzzle of the Week >
This is an open competition during and in the exhibit within the
MathSci Week where people browsing through the exhibit try to
be the first to submit the correct answer for a puzzle fro m the
fields of Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics.
UPCAT
Tutorials > Helping seniors
from the public and private high schools around the province to
prepare for the UP entrance exams given in the first week of August,
we supply them with manuals, review sessions and helpful hints
in taking the most competitive admission exam in the country.
PalaCASan
> We participate in the largest
sports tournament in the university to build the camaraderie with
other organizations in the College of Arts and Sciences. We compete
in all the events in the tournament like the cheering competition,
the men’s and women’s basketball, table tennis, and volleyball.
Tutorials
in Applied Math, Computer Science, Math , and Statistics subjects
> Fulfilling the organization’s
objective “cultivating deeper appreciation and wider application
of Mathematical Sciences…and involvement with the rest of the
University constituency”, we provide reliable and free review
sessions in subjects in the courses mentioned above.
Towards
the second semester, there's still no rest as we spend our creative
juices to think of the ways that we could spice up the next set
of activities.
SECOND SEMESTER:
UPLB
Mathematical Sciences Week (MASS Week) >
Before the Christmas Break, we will be celebrating the founding
of our beloved organization. Again a rigorous week for activities.
An exhibit features the details of the glorious history of the
organization. It is further highlighted by a contest named George
Hunt, an Outreach program, our own sports fest and a party with
our alumni as guests.
George
Hunt > Our official MASScot,
George, always runs away during the MASS Week. Therefore, we solicit
the help of the students in locating him all over the campus.
It is almost a mad scramble as everybody tries to locate and turn
him over to us first.
Heyday
> Alumni vs. resident Members.
The resident want to prove that they are better, while the alumni
wants to feel what they had in their prime.
Outreach
Program > The newest members
of the organization spearhead another one of our endeavors. This
is again one of the ways to give back for what success we acquire.
Intra-Math
> We need a taste of our own medicine.
Therefore, we have our own member only quiz contest. Topics in
our courses, the Humanities, the Social sciences, and in other
Life Sciences. It is the members’ chance to shine.
Student-Teacher
Quiz > The one and only chance
that you could copy from your teachers. Try if they know what
you know and see if you are smart enough in trivia and everything
else under the sun.
Other
Activities
Orientation > A way for
the freshman, as well as other would-be applicants, to know more
about our organization.

> One of our own ways to reward
ourselves for a semester well done.

with other members and share the camaraderie that makes the night
less lonely.
