Method of writing

(by Nabih Ibrahim B:08305141011)



Before read this book, we must be remembered that so many mathematician who don’t have competence in English, and more many Englishman (people who have good competence in English) difficult to understood the mathematic. That can be forgived because so difficult to study mathematic and English suddenly. But, Indonesian mathematical education need “smart book” which not only study mathematic, but study “mathematical english” too.

This book is one of many “Resolution” from mathematical education in Indonesia. That can aswerred the purpose of mathematical education in Indonesia, maybe more than this purpose. I sat that because any some “speciality” from the book.
1. Not only educate about methematics
This book not only educate about methematics, but educated about English too. And don’t forget, this book teach about mathematical english. So difficult to find good book like this.
2. Use a very good language
This book have a use good language, because this book use “mathematical language”. If we read this book, may be we can think if this book is writen by man who use English as the first language. But, in fact, the wirier is indonesian, and he use Indonesian as a first language, and English as a second language. If we read this book more intensively, so looked that so many hard work to solve this book. Except the writer have excelent English and, so wide educational mathematical knowledge.


3. Complete
This book is different with other books, because this book so complete. This book is enough to use for standard book in school. This book can aswered needed for many competance of mathematical in Junior High School. I think this book can apply the “Goverment Instruction”. The concept of book is so simple, step by step and easy to understand.

This book is good for student, expecially in Indonesia, the book answered many basic concept of school mathematics. Not only answered many basic concept of school mathematics , this book can make the student smart in English, that can increase the vocabularry of mathematical words in English.

“No body is perfect” it’s a right thingking. Not different from this book. If we read the book quicqly, the book looks perfect. But if we look more intensively, we can fin some problem from this book. Any something whose regreted of this book That is:
1. Use british english
I think this book, use british english, I think that less familiar, If this book use the “American English” this bok can more easy to understood. I think that because the english song, book, movie majority came from USA.
2. Doesn’t have answer key
This book doesn’t have answer key. Probably, the writer have “different” purpose. I think if any answer key can make the student more proud with himself. If the student proud from himself we can make a argument that, the student have more spirit from study, finished the examination, etc.
3. Doesn’t have competece desciption
This book doesn’t have “description of competence”. If this bok can more “speak” about the description of competence, the student, can make te target from they study, example: “If I finished read this chapter I can count the area of kite.”
4. Doesn’t saparate the daily problem and concept problem
This book doesn’t saparate the daily problem and concept problem. This book doesn’t have direct “daily problem” componet. If this book have that part, the student have more spirit to read this book. The student can try the daily problem more harder. Because if the student can practicwe in daily case the student can more understood about the subject.
5. Doesn’t desciption the link of job world
This book doesn’t have a part which can description the aplication of this chapter in career. Because in that age, student start to have “creative” planning from they life. In other books an part which labeled “Math Work”. That part tell the reader, what the proffesion which need this “science”, and other skill to get good proffesion. For example “If you learn trygonometry you can be an architect, other trigonometry, you need skill about the componet of buliding, chemstri of soil, arts, etc”

This book so good. However, the quality of student not only based from the book. Many factor can increse thequlity of student. For example, techer, if the teacher not competence in english, and can’t motivate the student to read this book. May be this book can be perform tis “quality”.

So less good bood, I hope this bok can apply the need from studen, teacher, and all civitas academica in Indonesia. I hope, the hard work from the writor is usefull from education world.

I hope, in the next opportunity the writer can make “better book”. Better book which can solve indonesian eductional problem, better book can make the quality of indonesian matematical education was up. More than other development coutries.
