Bandung — The Mathematics Education Study Program and the Mathematics Study Program of FPMIPA, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), in collaboration with Gunma University, Japan, organized a general lecture entitled Mathematics in The Age of AI: On Human Reasoning and Machine Assistance on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. The event was conducted in a hybrid format, taking place at the Smart Classroom of FPMIPA A (JICA Building, UPI) and via Zoom Meeting. The general lecture featured two speakers, namely Prof. Tatsuya Ohshita, Ph.D. from Gunma University, Japan, and Prof. Al Jupri, S.Pd., M.Sc., Ph.D. from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia.
The event began with an opening session and welcoming remarks delivered by the Vice Dean for Education and Quality Assurance of FPMIPA UPI, Prof. Al Jupri, S.Pd., M.Sc., Ph.D., and the Head of the Mathematics Study Program of FPMIPA UPI, Dr. Kartika Yulianti, M.Si.
In the main session, Prof. Tatsuya Ohshita, Ph.D. presented a lecture entitled Introduction of Elliptic Curves. In his presentation, he explained the fundamental concepts of elliptic curves and their algebraic structures, including discussions on rational points, the Mordell–Weil Theorem, rational torsion points, as well as an introduction to L-functions and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture.
The next session was delivered by Prof. Al Jupri, S.Pd., M.Sc., Ph.D., who presented a lecture entitled A Comparative Analysis of Mathematical Proving by Pre-Service Teachers and ChatGPT: The Case of AM-GM-HM Inequalities. In this session, he discussed arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic mean inequalities (AM-GM-HM) from both algebraic and geometric perspectives, and examined the differences in mathematical proving processes between pre-service teachers and ChatGPT.
The event concluded with a question-and-answer session, followed by the presentation of tokens of appreciation to the speakers, closing remarks, and joint documentation. This marked the successful completion of the general lecture, which ran smoothly and provided valuable academic insights for all participants.
