Mthematical Thinking and Scientific Work

Mathematical thinking is consist of problem or relationship, problem solving, investigation, communication. Mathematics formal has characteristic that mathematics as axiomatics. Axiomatic mathematics means there is a base under its. Mathematics is deductive; it means there is a concept, an axiom, a theorem, procedure, structure, and so on.

People should start or to establish formal mathematics as a system:
Should have an assumption.
It usually a concept and definition; both of them should have their base. The mathematics’ objects are their own opinion, ideas, and so on.
2. Should have an object.
To get mathematics’ object we can get it from the existence and the possibility of the existence. There are two ways to get mathematics object from concrete object:
a. Use idealisms method; it means consider all things are on the perfect form
b. Abstraction method; that believe certain characteristic.

Mathematical thinking is consistent. There is mathematics logic, that separated into daily logic, formal logic, mathematics operation, if then statement (table of truth), and so on. Some of mathematics operation examples are multiplication, root, square root, and the others. From “if then statement (table of truth)”, how to get conclusion from sentence? We have premises that consist of thesis (true sentence), antithesis (contradictive with thesis), and hypothesis (temporary thesis).

Relevancy mathematical thinking with science work

Science work’s characteristics are impersonal, have a standard, and objective. One of science work’s creations is scientific paper that has characteristics have an ethics, conclusion, recommendation, reference, and so on. We make some of science work’s creations is using mathematical thinking. so that, scientific work is a media to publish mathematical thinking.
