News, Student, , ,

Mathematics students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jember (UNEJ) participated in the 2025 Statistika Ria dan Festival Sains Data (SATRIA DATA) National Statistics Competition (NSC) in the Master’s Room of the Mathematics Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jakarta (15/9). Six students participated, and they had to solve extensive statistical problems and analyze data carefully to provide appropriate solutions. During the competition, they were accompanied by Mathematics Department lecturers Firda Fadri, S.Si., M.Si., and Nadia Kholifia, S.Si. M.Si. SATRIA DATA participants had to solve problems on probability theory, statistical theory/mathematical statistics, and categorical data analysis. “The preliminary round was conducted online with a CBT model plus supervision via the zoom application using participants’ mobile phones,” explained Firda.

After the NSC, the BDC competition field group was given mentoring to achieve good data accuracy. Given three opportunities to upload data, and compete closely with groups at other universities, it is expected to be able to process data with high accuracy. Mathematics students also participated in SATRIA DATA 2025 in other fields, namely the Statistics Essay Competition (SEC), Statistics Infographic Competition (SIC), and Big Data Competition (BDC). This year SATRIA DATA was organized by the Belmawa Directorate, Kemdiktisaintek in collaboration with the Islamic University of Indonesia. Continue reading →

Early this July, the academic community of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at the University of Jember received two pieces of good news. Among them, the Undergraduate Mathematics Study Program (PSSM) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at UNEJ received UNGUL ​​accreditation. This is stated in the decision of the Lembaga Akreditasi Mandiri Sains Alam dan Ilmu Formal (LAMSAMA) Number 201/SK/LAMSAMA/Akred/S/VII/2025, dated July 7, 2025. The accreditation is valid from the date of issuance until July 6, 2030. This UNGUL ​​accreditation is a source of great pride for the PSSM and the entire FMIPA community at UNEJ. “Achieving UNGUL ​​accreditation from LAMSAMA is the result of the hard work of the task force and PSSM management, as well as the collaboration of several parties, including students and alumni of the Undergraduate Mathematics Study Program,” said the Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D.

Contacted separately, Dr. Kiswara Agung Santoso, S.Si., M.Si., Head of the Undergraduate Mathematics Study Program, stated that achieving UNGGUL (Excellent) is the result of hard work by his accreditation team, who prepared the forms, supported by lecturers, students, alumni, and stakeholders. “From the beginning of preparation, we have always coordinated with the task force, the undergraduate mathematics study program community, the leadership of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), and with assistance from LPMPP UNEJ,” said Kiswara. The University of Jember leadership also played a role and supported the LAMSAMA accreditation process. The field assessment was attended by the Rector, Vice Rector I, Head of the ICT Unit, Director of Postgraduate Studies, and representatives from the LPMPP. The UNEJ Rector fully supports the UNGGUL achievement to improve UNEJ’s IKU. The Vice Rector I delivered a presentation on the University of Jember’s profile. Continue reading →

The Lembaga Akreditasi Mandiri Sains Alam dan Ilmu Formal (LAMSAMA) Team held a field assessment of the accreditation of the Undergraduate Mathematics Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jember. Rector of University of Jember Dr. Ir. Iwan Taruna, M.Eng., IPM., ASEAN Eng. and Vice Rector of UNEJ for Academic Affairs Prof. Drs. Slamin, M.Comp.Sc., Ph.D. together with the Dean of FMIPA UNEJ Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D. accompanied the assessor team in the opening ceremony of the field assessment (16-17/6). The assessor team consisted of Prof. Dr. Sri Wahyuni, S.U. from Gadjah Mada University and Prof. Alhadi Bustamam, M.Kom., Ph.D. from the Universitas Indonesia.

In his opening remarks, Iwan Taruna hoped that the Undergraduate Mathematics Study Program would be able to achieve UNGGUL accreditation. “With good cooperation from the taskforce team, I hope that the Mathematics study program will achieve the UNGGUL predicate in order to improve UNEJ’s IKU,” he said. The Chancellor said that the field visitation is a process of verifying the accreditation files that the study program has submitted. “The visitation is a process of verifying accreditation documents, as a place to convince assessors with the accreditation taskforce,” he continued. The Chancellor officially opened the field assessment of the Bachelor of Mathematics Study Program. Present at the opening of the visitation were leaders and representatives from supporting institutions at the University of Jember such as LPMPP, LP2M, UPA UPA TIK, Postgraduate, UPA Library and UPA Language.

The Bachelor’s Degree Program in Mathematics at FMIPA UNEJ is finalizing the evaluation of the LAMSAMA accreditation documents

News, Student, , , , , ,

The Bachelor’s Degree Program in Mathematics at FMIPA UNEJ held a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to evaluate the LAMSAMA accreditation documents at Grand Valonia (January 11-12). The session featured support from Dr. Yulia Indrawati, S.E., M.Si., and Riska Rian Fauziah, S.Pt., M.Sc., M.P., Ph.D., from the Quality Assurance and Learning Development Institution (LPMPP) of the University of Jember. The event was also attended by the Vice Dean I of FMIPA, Dra. Hari Sulistiyowati, M.Sc., Ph.D., and Vice Dean II of FMIPA, Dr. Esti Utarti, S.P., M.Si. “Over the next two days, we will discuss the evaluation of the LAMSAMA accreditation documents for the Mathematics Bachelor’s program with guidance from LPMPP, and we hope for a positive result, which is an EXCELLENT accreditation,” said the Vice Dean I of FMIPA.

For two days, the accreditation task force team for the Mathematics Bachelor’s program at FMIPA worked on aligning the Program Study Performance Report (LKPS) and Self-Evaluation Report (LED). Each criterion was supported by teams from LPMPP and the UPM-GPM FMIPA UNEJ. The task force team had previously worked based on the agreed criteria. “The Mathematics task force team has already been working according to the criteria that were set,” said Kusbudiono, S.Si., M.Si., the head of the accreditation task force. Kusbudiono hopes that by the end of the discussions, each criterion team will be able to complete their work to submit to LAMSAMA. Continue reading →

Guest Lecture by Practitioners of Mathematics Department: Artificial Neural Networks by Avan, Risk Modeler Bank Mandiri

News, Student, , , ,

Avan, S.Si., M.Si., an alumnus of the Mathematics program and a Risk Modeler at Bank Mandiri, began his presentation by discussing the current state of the banking sector, especially in risk management. The talk was part of a guest lecture for the Artificial Neural Networks course with the theme “Credit Risk Modelling” held on December 10, 2024, at the Mathematics Department. With nearly a decade of experience as a risk modeler at Bank Mandiri, Avan shared best and worst practices for building models. Most of the attendees, who were students, paid close attention as they were familiar with the model-building framework, similar to their final thesis projects in the Mathematics Department.

“Next, we’ll discuss issues related to imbalanced datasets and overfitting,” Avan said. These two problems often challenge mathematics students when working on their theses. He explained these issues in a clear and detailed way. The lecture also covered artificial neural networks, which are a popular machine learning model used in risk modeling. The guest lecture was held in a hybrid format, with both students and lecturers from the Mathematics Department of FMIPA UNEJ attending. Continue reading →
