Mathematics? It was a question from my friend, when she knew I was going to take a bachelor of mathematics education. Suddenly, I got some big questions, for instances my mind asks why it has to be mathematics, there were another choice but why I chose mathematics, what actually mathematics is about. Those questions always go around in my mind. I just thought that I want to be a teacher so if this is my opportunities to be a teacher, ‘why not?’ my thought at that time.
Time is gone, more than two semester I’ve been here, in SSE, I got a briefly meanings of mathematics. I find that mathematics is not only about calculating the numbers, but in my opinion, mathematics is a language as a way to represent our mind about facts in our real life. Those facts is usually used to find, analyze, prove even to predict something by doing some calculations. By learning mathematics, we are expected to become accustomed to use our logical thinking in solving any problems. For making a reasonable conclusion, mathematics is the responsible manner that provides us to make a briefly proven.
Many discipline that involving mathematics in their process in deciding any patterns or judgments. It shows that as the modeling, mathematics can explain any complex problems in a simple way that easier to be understood. Here, I am also provided with a creative teaching process that allows me to learn mathematics from the simplifying way in transferring the concept and procedures. We are always expected to be able to connect the understanding to our real life problems. Because the assessment is usually ask our creativity to solve any real life problems that examine our deeply understanding of the concept. Blessing of God, I get the experience to learn mathematics in SSE (Sampoerna School of Education) and now I know why I choose mathematics department. That’s because of mathematics is closely related to my real life. :)
