My Reflection in Learning English

Last thursday, the regular class of education math'08 have done the first stimilation test. From the result, there were only four students passed the tess. Passing grade of it only 50 point from 50 questions. Most of student was below the standard level.

Much of university students were sad, and I was too. I was disappointed with my score.


In my oppinion, much of university students not ready to do the test. However, My lecturer, Mr. Marsigit have informed the test to university students. But I didn't have illustration about the test. I shock and nervous, so I could not to think clearly. I forgot some words that was used everyday.
My lecturer, Mr Marsigit was also disappointed. He shock with university student's skill. he confused for a while time. Even, he said that broke the mirror was better than changed his face. But he always tried to give motivation to his students. He wanted to make university students more competent in english and mathematics. He adviced university students to improve our skill. We must used more times to read books, especially mathematics book in english language. One of the way to improve competent was to look for data from blog and internet. He asked university students to open his blog that contented much of mathematics topics in english.

I hope next test better than last. There are communication between the lecturer and university students. In order to university students can prepare test topic more than last. I conscious that my skill in english is very-very low. It is important to improve my skill. In next time I will repair my english score. To university students, it is better to study english regulary. Try and try,
read and read,
listen and listen english,
and enjoy with english everyday. I hope it can improve our knowledge and skill in english. Lets go!

The Meaning of Mathematics

Mathematics is a basic lesson teached from kindergarthen. As university students we know the meaning of mathematics. Mathematics consist of school mathematics and applied mathematics. University mathematics as pure and applied mathematics.

Mathematics has a character and an object. The character of mathematics is logic and consisten. The object of it is abstrak idea in your our mind. The meaning of object of mathematics is a structure of system with deductifely,consist of definition, theorema, formula and aksioma. The object cannot be contradictif.
To get an idea about mathematics we must train our brain. There are 2 ways to get an object of mathematics:

• Abstraction,

Abstraction is different with abstrak. For example number 5. number 5 has colour, form, material, and size. But in mathematics number 5 just a value.

• Idealism

The study of mathematics is fact. Example, "but the only sharp thing in this world is our brain. In idealism a thing consist of molecule-molecule. The molecule consist of round atom. So none of thing is sharp.

There are some description about mathematics.
