history mat

Solution

At the first knew that there was a subject of mathematic history in the schedule, in our mind actually that mathematic also has the history. Then the writer tried to look for about the historic mathematic, by browsing internet, borrowed the book from the senior students or discussed with the them selves.

1. Result of internet browsing

It was started from origin of word of itself mathematics. The word of mathematics come from word mayhems in Language of Greece interpreted as” science, science or learn" also mathematic interpreted as” love to learn ".

Especial discipline in mathematic based on this requirement of calculation. This requirement generally connected with the 3 division of mathematic area: study about structure, space, change.

Lesson about structure started with the number. Science about space started from geometry, that was geometry of Euclid and trigonometry, and then it also generalized to geometry was not Euclid. Understood and described the changing at amount that can be calculated is an ordinary in the sciences and calculus built as a mean for that purpose. The first draft is used to explain the changing of variable and function.

2. Discussed

Activity which the writer done in searching various reference sources which related to mathematic history that discussed with the others. In this case, the writer discussed with the senior students. There were many things which writer found after discussed about mathematic history.

In mathematic history, many figures of the world participated in mathematics science. Besides the mathematic figures, we also had to know anything in it. For example: in geometry Euclid, a circle was gathering of all the points at the area in certain distance called fingers, from a certain point called center.

The other mathematics also gave the great idea that was Pythagoras. The theorem of right angle that square of trilateral in right angle was the square amount of two other sides, or called triple Pythagoras.

3. Result of class activities

From various way or activities which writer done to get the material about mathematic history, one of them was by following lecturing of mathematic history class taught by Mr. Marsigit.

During thrice meeting, he has given some materials. At the first meeting, he explained about the kinds of history, there was history of opinion and history of artifact. At second meeting, writer got the task to make the short paper about mathematic history, by the chosening topics which have been determined. Its aimed all the participants (included of writer) becoming more recognized of mathematic history deeply and also knew about the masterpieces work which have been found by all mathematics. And at third meeting, the material was explained using Britannica Encyclopedia containing a lot of material about science world especially itself mathematic. He also showed the example of profiles from famous mathematics such as Leibniz and Pythagoras.
