Undergraduate Program in Mathematics

It is our belief that one pursues the study of mathematics with objectives: as a science and as a tool for other fields. Mathematics is an intrinsic component of science, part of its fabric, its universal language and indispensable source of intellectual tools. Reciprocally, science inspires and stimulates mathematics, posing new questions, engendering new ways of thinking, and ultimately conditioning the value system of mathematics. Therefore, we encourage our students to take between 6 and 12 credits from courses offered by other study programmes. Thus, our students are able to mingle or interacts with nonmathematics students and familiar themselves with subjects other than mathematics.

We acknowledge the wide range in interests and needs by incorporating flexibility in the curriculum. The UPM offers plenty elective courses. After completing Common First Year Program (TPB), students have to complete at least 108 credits consisting of 8 credits from ITB compulsory courses and 100 credits from mathematics and mathematics-related courses. Almost half out of these 100 credits are from elective courses. There are two kinds of elective courses, Semi-restricted Electives (24 credits) and Restricted Electives (20 credits). One benefits of such flexibility is that students can design their study by selecting elective courses that meet their interests, talents, and needs.

UPM students are required to take  20 credit points from Restricted Elective Courses. Each student has to take at least one course (4 credits each) from each of the following five groups of courses:

1. (Algebra) MA3021 Algebraic Structures or MA3022 Linear Algebra,
2. (Geometry) MA3041 Introduction to Differential Geometry or MA3042 Geometry
3. (Probability and Statistics) MA3281 Mathematical Statistics or MA4181 Introduction to Stochastic Processes.
4. (Network) MA3051 Introduction to Graph Theory or  MA4151 Cryptography or MA4251 Coding Theory.
5. (Optimization) MA3071 Introduction to Optimization or  MA3072 Partial Differential Equations.

Students must pass at least 12 credit points from courses offered by the UPM (minimum 8 credits from fourth year courses), and at least 6 credit points from other study programs (minimum 4 credits from third or fourth year courses). For UPM students participating in minor program, they must pass 12-18 credits offered by the selected study program.

1. Graduates become intelligent scholars who serve as role models in their community and give ​​a significant contribution to the implementation of the society’s ideal, which is a prosperous and noble life.

2. Graduates have comprehensive mastery of knowledge, equipped with extensive insights and awareness of the usefulness of their knowledge hence have the ability and instinct for its development and/or implementation, both independently and in collaborations, including inter-disciplinary cooperation.

1. The students are able to exhibit sufficient knowledge and insight in mathematics and relevant areas, with a relatively deep understanding in some particular sub fields of mathematics, and apply them to solve problems,

2. The students are able to demonstrate adequate basic math skills, such as observing, recognizing, collecting and utilizing data; to make calculation, estimation, and interpretation, with or without the aid of technologies (such as computers and software),

3. The students are able to exhibit mathematical powers, that include reasoning, making connections, solving problems, and communicating,

4. The students are able to show the ability to complete tasks and to develop relatively new ideas, both independently and in team including preparing and presenting reports, orally and in writing,

5. The students have personality characteristics and habits of work necessary for successful career, and understand professional and ethical responsibility,

6. The students are aware of contemporary issues and able to respond appropriately,

7. The students are well-prepared for self-development, in mathematics and relevant areas, or career in work.

The Undergraduate Programme in Mathematics (UPM) ITB students are encouraged to participate in student mobility programs. Information of the programs offered by ITB is available in student mobility programs.

Since 2021, the Indonesia Ministry of Education and Culture organizes IISMA (Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards). Information of IISMA is available in other semester mobility programs or  kampus merdeka page. The UPM student participating in IISMA 2021 is Daniel Rivaldo Gunawan (ID 10118073) .

For local and international students who want to study at Mathematics Study Program, the information can be found in admission page.
