Mathematics, we all know that one of these lessons is considered a difficult subject. When in elementary school, we were only taught to count, subtract, multiply and divide a number, but, when we were at the next level of education, this lesson becomes more difficult especially with the addition of letters that we normally only read, but now we combine it with numbers for us to count. This may be that we think is not too important for life. But it is different from the view of this one lecturer. Muhammad Arie Firmansyah (age 31) He is one of the mathematics lecturers at the Muhammadiyah University, Tangerang.
When asked "How important is mathematics in our lives?" He mentioned that there were 2 things that made mathematics very important for life. The first in terms of architecture. Everything that is built: buildings, schools, mosques, there is always a process in the construction of these buildings. In this process the calculations that make the buildings that are made will be sturdy because it has passed the previous calculation process. Then the second, namely in terms of our psychological or our thoughts in making a decision. When we think of avoiding mathematics basically it is related to our mathematical thinking because, indirectly we calculate our smallest possibility to meet again with mathematics.
Talking about mathematics is definitely related to teaching. If the teaching is not ideal, students may find it difficult to understand what the teacher has taught. We ask again "What is the ideal teaching process in the classroom?" According to him, the key is from a teacher himself. A teacher, must be able to make a pleasant teaching atmosphere, automatically the learning process becomes very happy.
At the end of the session we asked for messages from him for us as prospective teachers.
"Success is, not how much contents of our wallet, how great the position in social status or position in our work, how many connections we have. But there are two successes: the first success because of God's help, then the second we can enjoy every thing we can do. When you become a teacher later, you just give one love to the student being taught, then later you will get a lot of love from each student you teach".
Those are the messages from him for us, success is not only in terms of material, but the work that we can enjoy is our success in doing a job, and every success is always the help of the almighty over prayer that we have prayed.
