The faculty members of the Mathematics and Statistics Department are determined to give the best quality of mathematics education to the students by cultivating the culture of research and pursuing higher education. Four (4) of the members of the faculty have earned their degrees on PhD in Education major in Mathematics last July 2019.
Members of the faculty are also actively participating in different trainings/workshops related to their field i.e. Mathematics Camp 2019 and Southeast Asian Mathematics Society (SEAMS) School. Researches were being pursued and presented to international seminars and conferences. The researches of members of the faculty were presented to East-Asian Association for Science Education Conference, Asian Mathematical Conference, International Scholars Conference and International Congress on Mathematical Education. The Department was also able to produce textbooks i.e. Pre-Calculus, Basic Calculus and Solid Mensuration.
The faculty members are also active in joining professional organization i.e. Mathematics Society of the Philippines (MSP), Mathematics Society of the Philippines-CALABARZON (MSPC), Mathematics Teachers of the Philippines. – Tertiary Level (MTAP-TL) and Mathematics Educators of the Philippines, Inc (MATHED). One of the members of the MSD faculty has served as president of the MSPC for two consecutive years (2018 & 2019). The MSD also co-hosted the MATHED Biennial International Conference in 2017, MSPC Convention in 2016, and MTAP-TL National Convention in 2011.
The students of the BS Applied Mathematics program are also active in assisting other students who are having difficulty in mathematics through the peer tutoring program of the Applied Mathematics Program Council (AMPC).
The Department also maintains its good relationship with DePEd Cavite through various activities like training of K-12 teachers and judging for Math competitions in the province of Cavite.
