Mathematics philosophy in daily life

Many people is confusing the importance of mathematics in daily life. Many people is questioning mathematics benefit in daily life. For example logarithm. Is logarithm benefit for daily life? Is important logarithm applied for daily life? In contextual possibly will very difficult to apply mathematics. Not all matters in mathematics can be studied in contextual. But, the essential in mathematics is not merely formula and calculation only, but logic. People who is clever calculated hence he/she is arithmetic clever, on the contrary people who clever of mathematics hence he/she will apply the natural existence and logic to finalize various problems.
In a Russian film, I forget its title, there is one beautiful words about mathematics that is more or less like following: " very tightly mathematics the relation with life. In mathematics, there is many problems which must be done that we to get of best of matter. When doing problem hence would many formulas is earning we to apply. Formula which many the earned easier of we learn by heart if we can get his own. More and more the problem of which we done hence we would increasingly trains and masters matter. While in daily life, many problems which we would face, but the many the problems pushes we to apply formula or way of finalizing various the problems. More and more problem which we face will push we to think more adult in finalizing various problems."
Means mathematics learning is not merely formulas which many, hard problems, complicated calculation, fierce teacher, matter which is difficult is studied, etc but how we develop our way of thinking so that when given on to a problem we can apply natural existence and logic we to finalize the problem. Mathematics hardly good for human life, either directly and also indirect. Usefulness directly for example when we go shopping and does transaction of trade or business, where as indirect usefulness is when we cook water which actually without we realize we have done activity of mathematics especially calculus.

Philosophy can stand in front of any object. So we are able to explain philosophically whatever we want as you did. Are you interested in philosophy? (Dosen: Dr. Marsigit)
