Brief Description

Mathematics (and statistics) is a universal language embedded with different symbols and notations. As in this logo, the overlapping geometric shapes of triangle and circle represent the group's unity and wholeness in pursuing excellence as a common goal. The constant pi, one of the most significant constants in the universe, represents the critical role that mathematics plays in the pursuit of clarity and understanding of nature and the world. The graph symbol depicts the quintessential part of mathematics as a language and tool in various facets of society. The sigma notation signifies the combined effort of the faculty members and staff of the Mathematics department in achieving the mission, vision, and goal of the university to provide high-quality instruction, research, and extension.

Natural Science seeks to understand what is observable in nature, both large and small. The atom represents the smallest unit of matter with the characteristic properties of a chemical element. All living and non-living things are made up of atoms, which aggregate to form molecules. DNA stands for the genetic blueprint composed of a linear molecule of nucleotide bases, hence the source of information in the development and maintenance of organisms. The chemical bonds embody the attraction capacity, which is important in biochemical interactions. The above models elucidate the strength of small units in creating complexity in the natural world. The ecosystem signifies the complexity of the biological and ecological organization as well as the environmental phenomena associated with these components. The ecosystem model further relates to the intervention of the Department of Natural Science with the environment, which aims for sustainability-oriented pedagogy, efficient data processing, and attainable community-based solutions.
