This study is the result of a master’s thesis of the Graduate Program in Education for Science and Mathematics, PCM-UEM. The goal was to historically investigate the process of creating the course of mathematics at the State University of Maringa and the development of the course in the first years in the period between 1969 and 1982. In this article, we aimed to present the historical narrative of the course of mathematics of UEM, built in the master’s thesis. This work is inserted in the subject of History of Mathematics in Brazil and the presented narrative is structured through three intertwinedperspectives: documentary, oral and literature. Our analyses showed that the course of Mathematics at UEM was created to help in the development and visibility of the city of Maringá, to create an opening for the engineering courses and to remedy gaps of teachers in secondary education in the region at that time.
