The Institute of Mathematics is the leading institution for mathematics research and education in the Philippines. Since 1998, it has been recognized by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education as a Center of Excellence. It is home to the country's best and more promising researchers in mathematics.
Apart from offering an excellent BS Mathematics program, the Institute also grants the following graduate degrees: MA Mathematics, Professional Master's in Applied Mathematics, MS Applied Mathematics, MS Mathematics and PhD Mathematics.
Formerly known as the Department of Mathematics, the Institute is the largest institute in the University of the Philippines System, with about 100 full-time faculty members supported by 8 administrative and computer staff. It nurtures about 300 undergraduate and 200 graduate students, and handles all the mathematics courses of some 5000 undergraduate students in the whole UP Diliman campus.
RULES ON ADMISSION INTO THE B.S. MATHEMATICS PROGRAM
New Incoming Freshmen
A new incoming freshman must qualify for admission into U.P. Diliman thru the U.P. College Admission Test (UPCAT) and must make it to the B.S. Mathematics cut-off in Math.
Admission into the program, in any case, shall be dependent on the availability of slots in the program and the current resources of the department.
Undergraduate Transfer Student
All applicants for transfer to the B.S. Mathematics program shall be accepted and processed only for the first semester of each academic year through the Office of the College Secretary, College of Science.
An applicant for transfer should submit the following to the Office of the College Secretary, College of Science not later than one month before the first regular registration day of the first semester or within a prescribed application period.
For Transfer from Within the U.P. System
- an accomplished form of Application for Transfer to the College of Science;
- a true copy of grades of all subjects enrolled in;
- an office referral from his/her College/Unit
For Transfer from Outside the U.P. System
- an official copy of grades or transcript of records;
- a referral from the U.P. Registrar
The Department of Mathematics shall consider only the applications of students who have satisfied applicable University and College Rules on admission of transfer students.
Admission into the B.S. Mathematics Program is further subject to the following rules.
- A U.P. student from other programs or a transfer student from other institutions who has finished at least Math 63 or equivalent may be admitted to the program, provided that
- he/she has not incurred a grade of 5.0 in any Math subject and that
