Day4 shuliang

Today, we visited the Tsing Hua university. It was an eye opener as we are able to have the opportunity to experience how a university campus is like and how the students at Taiwan attend the university. I have learn many new skills and ways math can be applied. For example, the game theory was an interesting concept and theory which make more fun and use it on real life applications, the classes were pretty fun too with each of the unique professor giving their presentation. It really was interesting and I can see the usefulness of mathematics. The talk by the VP also gave me new perceptive of how important university are, and the importance of collaborations between universities.

Tuition street was also an interesting perspective, it allowed us to better understand the different culture, like in Taiwan, tuition classes are conducted in a much more bigger class size, it was also a very competitive thing as tuition centres will compete against each other to be the best and have recognition, the students themselves are also competetive to improve their grades. Tuition teachers in Taiwan are highly respected and are highly paid, as compared to Singapore, showing the importance and their emphasis on tuition.
