The historical foundation of the Mathematics Study Program at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, as in many other higher education institutions, includes the development of mathematics from ancient to modern times as well as its relationship with social, cultural, and scientific developments at that time. UIN Sunan Kalijaga is an Islamic university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, that offers various study programs, including Mathematics.

UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta's Mathematics Education Study Program was officially established for the first time on March 29, 1999 under the name Tadris Mathematics. This study program became part of the Department of Islamic Education, Faculty of Tarbiyah IAIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. The establishment of Tadris Mathematics Study Program was based on Decree number E/58/1999.

In 2004, IAIN Sunan Kalijaga expanded and changed into UIN Sunan Kalijaga. Two years after the change, the Mathematics Education Study Program moved to become part of the Faculty of Science and Technology. At the beginning of the move until 2011, the Head of the Mathematics Education Study Program oversaw two study programs, namely Mathematics Education and Mathematics. UIN Sunan Kalijaga's Mathematics Study Program is currently under the Faculty of Science and Technology.

Mathematics as a scientific discipline has developed since ancient times in various civilizations, including the Islamic civilization. During the golden age of Islam in medieval times, Muslim scientists made great contributions to various fields of science, including mathematics. They translated Greek and Indian classics into Arabic, contributed new knowledge, and developed new techniques in mathematics.

At UIN Sunan Kalijaga, the historical foundation of the Mathematics Study Program includes tracing the development of mathematics in Islamic civilization, such as the contributions of famous Muslim scientists such as Al-Khwarizmi, Al-Kindi, and Ibn al-Haytham. In addition, it may also include the development of mathematics in the local Indonesian context, such as the unique Javanese numeral system.

In addition, the historical foundation of the Mathematics Study Program at UIN Sunan Kalijaga may also consider the relationship between mathematics and Islam, including mathematical concepts found in the Qur'an and Hadith and the use of mathematics in falak science (Islamic astronomy). However, for more specific information, it would be best to contact staff or lecturers at UIN Sunan Kalijaga who have a more in-depth knowledge of the curriculum and focus of study in their mathematics program.
