On Feb. 21 the Department of Mathematics will hold the Math Day event in the Science Building. There are estimated to be 60 high school students to participate in the various math-related activities. Director of the Department of Mathematics, Chi-chung Wen, expressed, “I’m hoping that Math Day will help to raise students’ comprehension of mathematics because currently the nation is lacking personnel with this necessary skill. This is designed to encourage students so that they may turn around this trend.” For the event, students will be given hand held computers to play math games, solve problems and do an interview simulation. Tamkang University’s Department of Mathematics will introduce the campus to the students and lead them to participate in the games.
