THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS
Challenging of mathematics is complexity and puzzle that appears in mathematics problem. Many people consider that mathematics is so frighten. They always think that mathematics is very difficult because it’s always related with numbers. Maybe for them, mathematics make dizzy. Many people know that mathematics is important for their life. But a part of them don’t know that mathematics is important for their life. Mathematics is very required in life. With mathematics, we can solve many problems in our life. For example, with use mathematics, we can calculate many of object’s size. Such as when we will build house or place. We can approximate it with mathematics. And still more examples again. Mathematics is abstract science. With this, mathematics is interesting and full of challenging so much. A learn in mathematics such as Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Arithmetic, etc. Mathematics also have structure pattern. The structure of pattern is very need. In solve mathematics problem, we must answer structurally.
In mathematics don’t need answer that true or wrong, but how we can solve this problem with use step structurally. Such as, in solve problem about triangle, square, etc. We can make a construction and a pattern for solve this problem. And that’s will make we easier. Mathematics is also communication. With mathematics, we can communicate with human being. From Mr. Marsigit’s article about “Elegi Hakikat Matematika ke Satu”, have explain that every human being have different conception about mathematics severally. There explained how the mathematics come from. Mathematics is very complete. The basic knowledge is mathematics. Mathematics is knowledge from all of knowledge. All of knowledge should base with mathematics. Before we solve our problem in mathematics, as good as possible we investigate it. That will make us easier for answer. In solve mathematics problem can’t only see. We should try and try for solving this problem. And after we can solve it, we will feel satisfied. In mathematics very need creativity for solve problem. The creativity can give us advantage and make easier in answer mathematics question. And we can make a smart solution for solving it. Such as make the formulas simply. Learning of pure mathematics and mathematics education is different. In mathematics education more pressed to teach method. Whereas mathematics non education learn about realized. I hope from there, I can be a mathematician. And I can more improve my skill in realized theorems or definition in solve mathematics problem.
