The Mathematics Utilization Seminar adopts a hands-on approach to learning, emphasizing the importance of practical experience over traditional lecture methods. Citing the wisdom of Lao Tse, the seminar promotes the idea that understanding comes through doing. With no written or oral exams, students engage in individual knowledge assessments weekly, while leveraging modern tools such as Matlab. The seminar fosters communication, teamwork, and essential soft skills, ultimately enhancing self-learning and understanding of mathematical concepts in real-world applications.
