MATHEMATICAL THINKING AND SCIENTIFIC WORK

Mr. Marsigit is my awful English lecturer. He always study all about life and often share his knowledge and his experiences to us, university student.
Last meeting, he told about mathematical thinking and scientific work. There was different thing about my lecturer when he taught our class. He brought a set of thick paper. He showed that paper and we saw that the title of paper was “ Math for Junior High School VII”. He said that this paper was one of result of scientific work. There were people studied in Gajah Mada University or in Institute Technical Bandung to do research about the University. Scientific work was formal writing that be arrange scientifically. For the example research that be done by Gajah Mada or ITB’students. Then, what was scientific? Scientific had many characters, they were,
•Impersonal
•Have criteria
•Objective.
Next, about kinds of scientific work format. The format of it were ;
•Report
•Explanation
•Paper.
Scientific paper consisted of four parts. There were:
1.Introduction
2.Discussion
3.Conclusion
4.And reference.
The important thing when we wrote scientific paper that don’t make any plagiarism and we must suitable with ethical code.
It was all about scientific work.

Before we discussed about Mathematical Thinking, we must knew about math. Nature math was relationship. Math had an object. The object was my idea. We could take object from anything around. How to get an idea in math? There were some method to get idea.
1.Idealism
Idealism was we assumed that all object or things were perfect.
2.Abstraction
Abstraction was we took any things that be need only.
There was terminology that had relationship with Mathematical Thinking. ” Meta Math” was thought all about math. Mathematical Thinking was thought mathematically. Mathematical Thinking had three criteria,
•Consistent; suitable with agreement
•And logic.
I think it is enough about Mathematical Thinking and Scientific Work. I’m so sorry if I have some mistakes.
