The Aspect of Mathematics

From time to time, we have many experiences about the aspects of mathematics since we were born. From the daily life to the academic life at the university, we can identify many aspects of mathematics. But sistematicaly, there are two kinds of the aspect of mathematics :

1.       The application of math

2.       The concept of math

We aren’t sure since when we are able to calculate and understand the concept of number. None of us who are remember since when we start to understand the number of zero, one, two, three, and etc. We also do not know since when we start to understand about the distance and fraction.

If we now understand and then we don’t remember  when westart to undesrtand, that we call intuition. Intuition is a natural ability. With intuition, it is possible to know something without any evidence.

Similarly, love needs intuition too.
Do you know the concept of love? Most of people understand about love. But, the question is since when you enderstand about the definition of love? We don’t remember. It means, understanding the concept of love using intuition.

There are many identically thing with the concept of number and love.So, intuition is very important. Intuition is not dominated by only the children, older people still doing activity with intuition, include the student at the university.

In order to empower our intuition, we need to have many experiences. Because the intuition emerge from experiences. In English lesson, we can find many experiences like listening, writing, and speaking. in mathematics, we can find many experiences like calculating and measuring.

The concept of mathematics  :

1.       Axiomatic/ Formal/ Abstract/ University Mathematics

The way to learn it :

a.       learn about the definition

b.      theorem

c.       example of problem

2.       Concret Mathematics (Mathematics for younger student)

At the end, intuition is important in learning. “Whatever you learn you will be succesfully student if you know about the psychology of learn,” said Mr. Marsigit. So, take a good motivation and keep spirit!
