approach mathematics

APPROACH MATHEMATICS

Pragmatically mathematics a science about real life. Where many mathematics concepts appear from human effort to solve many problem like measurement on geometry, movement on calculus structurally society view mathematics as structure an abstract which unrelated to physically thing.

1. ontology approach to explain mathematics
ontology approach is a reflection for understand really mathematics in the same manner as it has found.
Ontology approach moves between two poles that is experience really concrete mathematics and really mathematics as invent, where each pole explain to another because of that ontology approach is a circle hermainitic between experience and invent without can be saying where previously appear.
2. Epistemology approach to explain mathematics
If we want to get knowledge about “the truth of mathematics” that is the simplest and the basic knowledge (sui generic). Because of that epistemology approach need to be improved so that we know the place of mathematics in science context.
3. axiology approach to explain mathematics.
Axiology approach learn philosophical value from mathematics according to in Hartman value of mathematics contains four dimensions : mathematics has value because its meaning, mathematics has value because its unique, mathematics has value because it aim, and mathematics has value because its function.
