News, , , ,

FMIPA UNEJ and Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha Republik Indonesia (KPPU-RI) established a partnership on a self-managed study and institutional synergy (April 17). Present were KPPU-RI Commissioner Dr. Eugenia Mardanugraha, S.Si., M.E., accompanied by the Director of Economics, the KPPU’s Public Relations Officer (PPK), the Head of the Surabaya Regional Office’s Research Division, and several staff members. The KPPU team was welcomed by Prof. Dr. Edy Supriyanto, S.Si., M.Si., the Vice Dean III representing the Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, accompanied by Dr. Alfian Futuhulhadi, S.Si., M.Si., and members of KeRis Data Science. The signing of the Cooperation Agreement was initiated by the KeRis Data Science Department of Mathematics, FMIPA, in the form of a Study on Refining Sample Design and Respondent Composition for the Business Competition Index.

In her remarks, KPPU-RI Commissioner Dr. Eugenia stated that this collaboration is a cross-disciplinary collaboration that supports the KPPU’s work program. “Law No. 5 of 1999 serves as the KPPU’s basis for preventing monopolistic practices, cartels, and unfair market dominance. Therefore, collaboration is needed to support economic transformation,” she said. She stated that the KPPU continues its fight to eradicate cartels, as evidenced by the recent fines imposed on 97 online lending companies. This collaboration is part of the data-driven business competition oversight effort. Continue reading →

A Delegation of Mathematics Students from the FMIPA UNEJ, Participated in the 2025 SATRIA DATA Competition.

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 →

FMIPA Jember University will open several study programs, including an actuarial study program in the Mathematics Department. In the initial stage, Prof. Edy Tri Baskoro, M.Sc., Ph.D., from FMIPA ITB, discussed the establishment of an actuarial study program (14/6). The Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., invited the task force team to establish a new study program for the Department of Mathematics to take advantage of this discussion. “The presence of Prof. Edy from ITB is a great opportunity to explore what needs to be prepared when opening a new study program, in this case actuarial,” he said. Present at the event were the Chair and Secretary of the Mathematics Department, as well as the preparation team for the establishment of a new study program in mathematics.

Prof. Edy said that the undergraduate actuarial study program at FMIPA ITB is a scientific discipline that applies mathematics and statistics to analyze and manage risk. “The areas analyzed include insurance, both life insurance and general insurance, pension funds, investment and banking,” he explained. It is also said that graduates of the actuarial undergraduate study program have career opportunities to become actuaries, investment managers, risk managers or can also be academics as lecturers or researchers. The first step is to classify the courses and teaching staff who will be involved in teaching in a study program that can be said to be new in Indonesia. Continue reading →
