[papoi @yunpoki]

is it selfish to be the first person you think of in the morning and the last person you talk to at night?

[papoi @yunpoki]

is it selfish to want you telling me instead of others everything? is it selfish to want to know you better than anyone else?

While most STEM students write their undergraduate theses in English, a student from the University of the Philippines Diliman has shown that even advanced mathematical research can be written in Filipino, marking a first for the university’s mathematics program.

The thesis, authored by former BS Mathematics student Andrei Clyde Arellano, titled “Isang Computational na Pagsusuri sa mga Heuristic nina Cohen at Lenstra para sa mga Quadratic Number Field,” is the first mathematics thesis written in Filipino.

Arellano developed an interest in studying Philippine languages during his high school years, which only grew stronger as he entered college. “Bago ako nagkolehiyo, talagang binalak ko na po talaga na ang tesis ko ay masusulat sa Filipino/Tagalog,” he told radar.

According to a post by the UP Institute of Mathematics, Arellano’s study is not just a feat for the local math academe but also for the Filipino language.

“Ang paghimay sa mga komplikadong teorya ng matematika gamit ang wikang Filipino ay isang malaking hakbang para sa intelektwalisasyon ng ating pambansang wika sa larangan ng STEM. Ipinakita ni Clyde na ang ating wika ay wika ng mataas na agham at malalim na karunungan,” it wrote.

Although many find the idea of using Filipino to discuss scientific topics intimidating, Arellano believes it doesn’t have to be that way. He said writing math in a local language does not mean every technical term has to be translated.

“Kapag iniisip po kasi ng ilan (o marami haha) ang ‘matematika sa katutubong wika,’ ang nasa isip agad ay lahat ng jargon, lahat ng termino, ay papalitan ng mga ‘mas katutubong’ salita, ngunit hindi kasi po kailangan maging gano’n,” he said.

He emphasized that borrowed words, too, are part of Philippine languages.

“Truthfully, we already do teach math in our local languages, just not at the formal level,” he wrote in a Facebook comment. “[A]lmost every teacher in the archipelago will use a local language to explain the concepts to their students, either through code-switching with English or by borrowing the English jargon while teaching.”

Despite English remaining the primary language of instruction for STEM subjects in the Philippines, Arellano hopes his work will encourage more students and researchers to embrace not just Filipino but all local languages as formal modes of instruction for math.

“[A]ng mga ibang wika natin kailangan ng higit pang suporta. Marami-rami rin po akong nakitang nag-share ng mga post tungkol sa gawa ko na nagsasabi na tila binabalak nilang magsulat ng mga gawa nila sa mga wika nila, at seryoso man po sila o hindi, nakakataba talaga iyon ng puso ko,” he shared.
