Journal History

Beta: Jurnal Tadris Matematika was firstly published as printing version in 2008.  Its initial scope was mathematics and mathematics education. In 2016, it shifted to mathematics education (See Aims & Scope) and the online version was available at http://ejurnal.iainmataram.ac.id/index.php/beta. When the journal started its online journey, one of the challenges is to bring past issues online. However, some early articles (Vol.1-Vol. 3 No.1) could not be found for technical reasons.
