It is a that I Must Have a competence in English for Mathematics

Nowadays, we live at the global area. Of course, we have the presence to global competition. To face it, everyone should have the ability to be able to face the global competition. One of the capabilities that are eligible to have the ability to speak English well. That's all because of global use more English in his daily activities, for example, is in the agreements between the State, both in terms of political, economic, social, and cultural, the people involved in it to communicate and reach mutual agreement with the use the English language. English is the international language. According to the survey, 97.83% of the country in the world require to learn the English language from primary level to university level.

For example, I as a student in one of the universities in India also learn the English language even though the course I take is mathematics education. In fact learning the English language is very useful for me. Many lecturers provide lecture material it uses the English language, I certainly assisted by the very subjects of the English language in my course. Even start this year, I open the program of the English language class or world class university where some of the materials submitted by faculty who use the English language support. So, if I do not understand at all about the English language I can not follow the lecture well. That is why the ability to speak English is also required even though the mathematics.

There are many more benefits can I get to learn the English language with the program of study that I'll take this. I have also become easier to study the literature that suggested by my lecturers. This can also support the study so that I become more motivated and easy to understand.

For its future, the English language ability can also be useful if I want to take a scholarship to study abroad. To get the scholarship that is difficult, there are many roads that should be adopted. Among them is the high score of TOEFL test should be more than average. Interview test as a requirement that also use the English language. If the English language well, then get the scholarship opportunities that will open wide in front of the eye.

Once completed in the lecture, even English language skills will still be very useful. Among them is to find a decent job. It is the tradition in personnel selection or entry of new employees in an agency with the ability to use the English language each other. Moreover, in accordance with the I of the profession tomorrow. For a prospective teacher or lecturer, the ability of both the English language is necessary, to print The students are also able to compete in a global world, a teacher or lecturer must also deliver the material with the lesson study English, especially RSBI and SBI.

Learning English is not easy. Fact, to achieve a TOEFL score is very difficult to qualify. But it will be easy when we have the will and spirit and a strong reason to learn English. Given all that, my English language skills are still far from the expected, it is necessary to be improved. Because, learn the English language itself is not a future that is only useful to meet a specific requirement but a requirement NEEDS and so that we can compete in a global world which is very strict. This is proof of why we must have the competence to speak English, although good in mathematics.

What I have Done and What I will Do for English of Mathematics

English is universal language in the world. English language have an important role in mathematics as a medium that can convey a message that can contain the materials, problems, and answers. English is the language that is important in science communication are applied in the world. That is why, the English language is also applied in teaching mathematics at both the basic institutions, and university level.

I as a student who is also using the English language in the mathematics feel that this indeed is very important. View of the various things that have to do against the English language in the mathematics of them as I use the English language to make a presentation at one of the subjects that I get in class, I feel that English is very useful. With the English language, all students understand each other and there is no ambiguous in its every sentence. In addition, learn the English language in mathematics is also easier for me personally to understand the material, and the matter of the exam at one of the subjects that I get. I also make the conversation with some of my math teachers use the English language. In addition to have a better sense of when to use it, I also take advantage of this to train my use of the English language to make it more smoothly.

Use of the English language in mathematics is not only useful for the course at this time. Many things can I do to the English language in the math later. Like, I will use the English language to prepare the abstract in the essay that I will submit to me as a graduation requirement graduates later. Ability word with the English language tested here. If it happens a little meaning ganda or even not meaningful, I propose that skripksi certainly will not be accepted. Later, I will also use the English language ability in mathematics is to make it as added value in finding a job later. Of course, the selection test or interview will be more aligned themselves on a more individual take the English language. So, I have an english course nowadays.
Thus, while I still in the early lectures will continue to improve my English even though my department's mathematics, I have to understand English well.
I will share about my experience in participating English lesson class and my knowledge with the other people. I really hope, I can listen, write, understand, and speak english better in the future.

I Have Learn How to Teach Mathematics in English

Thus, the fact that 100 = 102 says that 2 is the logarith of 100 to the base 10. It is written as 2=10log100 0r 10log100=2. But, it can be read : logarithm of 100 to the base 10 equals 2.

Characteristic of logarithm

a to the power of m times a to the power of n equals a to the power of m plus n in bracket.

a to the power of m over by a to the power of n equals a to the power of m minus n in bracket.

Logarithm of b to the base a equals n equivalent with b equals a to the power of n.

Logarithm of a to the base g equals x. So, a equals g to the power of x.

Logarithm of b to the base g equals y. So, b equals g to the power of y.

Logarithm of a to the power of n to the base g equals n times logarithm of a to the base g.

We will find the solving of logarithm of a times b in bracket to the base g. [glog(axb=..?]

Let, Logarithm of a to the base g equals x. So, a equals g to the power of x.

Logarithm of b to the base g equals y. So, b equals g to the power of y.

From two character of logarithm above, is got that a times b equals g to the power of x times g to the power of y.

g to the power of x times g to the power of y equivalent g to he power of x plus y in bracket.

So, a times b equals g to he power of x plus y in bracket.

We can conclude that logarithm of a times b in bracket to the base g equals logarithm of a to the base g plus logarithm of b to the base g.

In this section, we will prove that square root of two is irrational number.

Let, square root of two is irrational number, it means that square root of two equals a over b, where a and b as prim number.

square root of two equals a over b. So, a equals square root of two times b or a square equals two times b square.

From this solving, we get that b square is even number and b is also even number. But, this is impossible because the prim number is relative. So, the assumption that square root of two have rational characteristic is impossible and must be delayed.

How was the value of phi is invented

The ancient Egyptian had invented the phi value is 3,16 (three point one six). They found it by assumpt that the circle area equals eight ninth times diametre (d) in bracket square.

We know that d equals two times radius. So, we can get the circle area equals eight ninth times two times radius (r) in bracket square. It is equivalent sixty four over by eighty one times four times r square. It is equals two hundred and fifty sixty over eighty one times r square.

So, the circle area is three point one six times r square. we know that the circle area is phi times radius square. we can find that the value of phi is three point one six.

Mathematics is Problem Solving

Have you ever asked your self, why do you learn mathematics?
of course, there are many reasons and opinions about it.
Everybody have different point of view, reason, and opinion.
So, let's we know the absolute truth about mathematics before.
The word "mathematics" comes from the Greek (máthēma), which means learning, study, science, and additionally came to have the narrower and more technical meaning "mathematical study", even in Classical times.
Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, change, and related topics of pattern and form. Mathematicians seek out patterns whether found in numbers, space, natural science, computers, imaginary abstractions, or elsewhere.

Based on Dr.Marsigit's explanation about the nature of mathematics, I got some information such as
: Mathematics is pattern, mathematics is communication,and mathematics is problem solving.

In here, I'll try to describe the third point.It is "Mathematics is problem solving"
Why we recognized that mathematics is problem solving. What is the meaning of problem solving,what the relation about mathematics and problem solving, and what the meaning of "mathematics is problem solving" itself?
I won't to explain all of them. But, I just want to share my opinion.
To understand this statement, I give you some examples,


-The Königsberg Bridge problem could be solved by graph theory. Networks have many uses in the practical side of graph theory, network analysis (for example, to model and analyze traffic networks). Within network analysis, the definition of the term "network" varies, and may often refer to a simple graph. Such as, to make the rule of Trans at Yogyakarta or Jakarta. It used graph theory.
-The house numbering used an Arithmetics, to make house or clothes design ,we use mathematics. All programs of computer use mathematics theory, and many other. We use mathematics application in our daily activities.
Sometimes, we do the math exercise, especially about the story form question. We must change this question into math sentence, so that we can do it easier.
The examples can show that mathematics can solve the problems. By learning mathematics, we training to solve the problem, training for creative logic thinking, and build up systematic and efficient math methods.
So, I conclude that mathematics is problem solving.

That’s all my opinion, adapted from many resources.

My Experience in Study English

Hello everybody,
I'd like to tell you about my experience in study English

I studied English at school first. Three years at Elementary School, three years at Junior High School, and Three years at Senior High School. Now, I have learning English II at Yogyakarta State University.

My English is not so good, I have to learn it more.

Although, I don't join with English Course Club. But, I have a big willingness to study English. Because I know that English is very Important, is very needed in our life and activity.

I like to study English, because I want to be a teacher at International School or to be a lecturer at World Class University.

I must study hard to achieve my goal.

I need some experience to be a good teacher or lecturer.

So, to support my English, I learn it by listening foreign musics and watching foreign movies.

Why I chose this way??

1. I think this is interesting method to study English, and easier to understand every sentence there.
2. By listening foreign musics or watching foreign movie (Especially English's songs or movies), I can enrich my English vocabulary.
3. I can study English and do my hobby at the same activity. So, I am very enjoyed it.

And sometimes, I read the Story Books in English.It's very fun and gived me a lot of knowledge.

That's all my Experience in study English.

Let's study English together and have fun !!

What I Have to Achieve in English Part II

Based of Dr. Marsigit's explanation about our study in English lesson part II, I knew the case that I have to learn.
It is "How to communicate mathematics education in English"

Very interesting, isn't it?

Perhaps it's looks so simple, but the first.. you must know what the meaning of Communication, Mathematics, Mathematics Education, and English in our study.

1. Communication
As we know, there are many type of communication that we can learn, such us to hear, to talk, to write, to read, and to translate or to understand.


2. Mathematics
We just study how to communicate the mathematics matter in English, such as Algebra, Arithmetic, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics , etc. that we have been learn before.

3. Mathematics Education
It is contains everything that have related with education. Such as, teacher, lecturer, methods, resources, students and the other.

4. English
In our lesson, especially in English II. We study an formal and informal writing and speaking. How we can to communicate our Mathematics matter in English. And to prove our skill how we combine the language and mathematics.


We study all of them to achieve the competence, there are five competence (Will, attitude, knowledge, skill, and experience) we should be have after we have finished the study.
*Willingness : to participate in English Lesson Class part II, I have a big willingness to study English. I think English is very interesting and challenge. English is very important. English is very needed in our daily activity.
