My Reflection in Learning English

Now Thursday, 12^th March 2009, At the third meet with Mr. Marsigit. Suddenly, he wants us to take a paper. He wants us to translate word from Indonesia to English. I’m surprised, because, I don’t yet know all the mathematic vocabulary. Then Mr. Marsigit said word by word. He said twenty words. But, my true answer only eleven. However, that’s only elementary vocabulary in mathematic. So, I must have a question to myself. Why can’t I know all vocabulary in Mathematic? Maybe, I need more depth learning mathematic again. I hope I can learn mathematic vocabulary well.

Thanks for your shock therapy Mr.!!!!!!

That’s why, I realize……

Thanks a lot Mr….

The Meaning of Mathematic

Today is Thursday. At the English II class. Mr. Marsigit talking about the meaning of mathematic. He said that mathematic had many definition. And in sains mathematic is a body of knowledge. Where the characteristic is abstract, only in our understanding and the object is abstract idea.

Mr. Marsigit told about two way to get abstract object, there are

• Technical abstraction → characteristic of mathematic is abstract, so that we can use our abstract to think about mathematic
• Technical Idealization → our perception about some assumption to get our concept of mathematic

A Professor from Melbourne University ever said that mathematic consist of Conjecture( thinking, predicting and solving) and conviction( communicate to the result). And then, Prof. Katagiri from Tokyo had different opinion about mathematic. He think that mathematic consist of Attitude( critical, consistent, have any question), Method( bowl of mathematic), and content( material/ in accordance with any body).
