Wednesday, 16 October 2024, the Mathematics Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Tanjungpura University (UNTAN) Pontianak held a community service activity in the form of a Workshop on "Improving the Utilization of Artificial Intelligence in Mathematics Learning Applications" which was held at the State Islamic Senior High School (MA N) 2 Pontianak. This activity aims to introduce the Mathematics Study Program, provide knowledge about artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence/AI) and socialize the Mathematics Competition (KOMET) to students and teachers at MA N 2 Pontianak. This event was attended by 42 students and seven teachers from MA N 2 Pontianak, accompanied by six lecturers and eight students from the Mathematics Study Program, FMIPA UNTAN, who acted as speakers and facilitators. This activity began with an opening by Khairunisa as the host. It continued with remarks from Mr. Agus Leonardi and the Head of the Mathematics Study Program, namely  Dr. Bayu Prihandono, S.Si., M.Sc.

In the introductory session of the Mathematics Study Program, Mr. Dr. Bayu Prihandono conveyed information related to the vision and mission of the study program, the curriculum offered, and career prospects for graduates of the Mathematics Study Program. He also conveyed the importance of mastering modern technology, such as artificial intelligence, in the world of education and industry today. He emphasized that graduates of the Mathematics Study Program not only play a role in the academic field but can also contribute to the development of technology, such as AI, which is increasingly relevant in this digital era.
After the introductory session of the Study Program, the event continued with a presentation on artificial intelligence in mathematics learning, delivered directly by Mr. Yudhi, S.Si., M,Si., a lecturer at the Mathematics Study Program, FMIPA UNTAN. On this occasion, Mr. Yudhi explained the basics of artificial intelligence, starting from the concept of machine learning to its application in mathematics learning applications. He also showed several examples of AI applications that students and teachers can use to help solve math problems, provide interactive explanations, and invite students to practice using AI-based applications directly.

In addition, the event also includes the socialization of the Mathematics Competition (KOMET), a competition held by the Mathematics Student Association of the Mathematics Study Program, FMIPA UNTAN to increase students' interest and talent in mathematics. This socialization is expected to foster a competitive spirit, students' interest in mathematics, and critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are very relevant in the digital era.
With the implementation of this activity, the Mathematics Study Program, FMIPA UNTAN, shows its commitment to supporting the development of education in Pontianak City, especially in utilizing artificial intelligence technology to improve the quality of mathematics learning in schools.
