What is Mathematics ?
There are 2 points to be a good mathematician :
1.
Abstacted : to think only selected characteristic
of object
2.
Idealized : assuming to be perfect characteristic
Object characteristics of mathematician are color,
value, term, etc. They are will always be our daily experiences. Mathematics can train us to improve our logic ability and how
to apply them in everyday. One of
our rationality or our logic is math object, for example is 6x4 = 4+4+4+4+4+4,
it’s different with 4x6 = 6+6+6+6. In fact, that value of math operation are
same, but the concept are different. It indicated that mathematicians have high
logic, which make them can solve the mathematics problem.
What happen in our mind ?
Our mind can make a
marvelous idea. It is begun from perception. Perception makes our mind
stimulate and then we can imagine something that captured by our peception. If
we had have an imagination, automatically we can create the concept. The
concept is foundation to get decision. But, before that we must understand
about our concept and finally we can get a judgement. In our mind is loaded
about many experiences, which good or bad momment. Our past memory can be
reference in our daily life, so we can do everything which base on our
experience. Mathematics can be applicated in our life, it stimulates our logic
to solve many problems. The problem must be analysed and then after we get problem
solving, we can evaluate that solution.
If
we do something based on that steps, we can get success, knowledges, good
atitude, skill, and also valuable experience. Finally, we become competence in
mathematics, especially in english for mathematics.

If we want to have mathematical thinking,
we must combine spiritual, philosophy, and normative in our life. Mathematics can support our
spiritual. Philosophy will direct our mind become mathematical thinking. We
aren’t only think about mathematics, but also we must do everything based on
normative.
