The Mathematics Study Program at Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Universitas Sebelas Maret (FMIPA UNS) was the embryo of FMIPA UNS which started in 1982. From 1986 until 1994, a collaboration was held between UNS and the International Development Project (IDP) Australia in developing basic sciences, especially Mathematics. Forms of cooperation include technical assistance activities for the teaching and learning process as well as material and curriculum design for the field of operations research.
This collaboration ultimately bridged the establishment of the Mathematics Study Program at the Civil Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Sebelas Maret based on the Decree of the Directorate General of Higher Education Number 206/D2/1989 dated January 26th, 1989.
On July 12th, 1995, it was proposed to the Director General of Higher Education the establishment of FMIPA UNS. The Minister of Education and Culture issued a Decree on the establishment of FMIPA UNS which is the 9th faculty with several study programs, namely the Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology Studies Program through the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia dated October 1st, 1996 Number: 0297/0/1996. The factor that prompted the opening of the UNS FMIPA Mathematics Study Program was to increase the implementation of national development and also to develop knowledge, especially in basic sciences, which support the development of technology and potential human resources.
