Where to learn history of math

It was really delightful for me to read Mochtar Buchori's viewpoint Preventing mathematics illiteracy in our culture in your paper, April 23, 1999. Although the author claims himself as almost illiterate in mathematics, he clearly shows his deep understanding of the subject and its role in society.

There is, however, one thing I'd like to remark on concerning the author's question "Where in Indonesia could you take a course on the history of mathematics?" One positive answer to that question is at the Department of Mathematics, Bandung Institute of Technology. Once I also taught the subject at Parahyangan Catholic University, Bandung.
