The nonlinear mathematical model of the Break Even Point (BEP) problem is difficult to solve analytically to obtain an exact solution; therefore, numerical methods can serve as an alternative approach to address this issue. Based on this, the present study aims to develop a PHP program for solving the BEP problem and to compare Steffensen’s and Brent’s methods in terms of error and number of iterations. This research used the experimental method, whose implementation procedures include preparation, PHP program development, program testing, program revision, analysis, and conclusion. The PHP-based program developed in this study can serve as an alternative tool for solving BEP problems and is accessible to both practitioners and academics via the following link: https://lpptp.fkip.unram.ac.id/smhs/e1r021001/index.php. In solving the BEP problem, the error of Steffensen’s method was 17,3 x 10^-8, while the error of Brent’s method was 6,4 x 10^-8, therefore the error produced by the Brent’s method is smaller than that of the Steffensen’s method because 6,4 x 10^-8< 17,3 x 10^-8. Additionally, the number of iterations required by Steffensen’s method was 109, whereas the number of iterations of Brent’s method was 56, therefore, the number of iterations of Brent’s method is fewer than that of Steffensen’s method because 56 < 109. Consequently, it can be concluded that Brent’s method is more effective than Steffensen’s method in solving BEP problems in terms of both error and number of iterations.

Mumps is a contagious viral disease transmitted through respiratory droplets and close contact. It can cause symptoms like fever and salivary gland swelling. Despite the MMR vaccine, which offers partial protection, outbreaks persist, especially in college-aged individuals. Epidemiological models can aid in identifying effective prevention strategies for controlling mumps transmission. This paper proposes a mathematical model for mumps spread, considering quarantined individuals and complications. A global stability analysis of the mumps transmission model was performed, considering mortality and quarantine subpopulation. The Disease Free Equilibrium and Endemic Equilibrium Point are globally stable, confirmed by Lyapunov functions. Sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction number shows that reducing birth rates and contact between infected and susceptible individuals effectively minimizes the infected population. However, increasing the natural death rate can reduce the total population, which may lower infections, but poses potential social and economic challenges for decision-makers.

M. Gunawan Supiarmo, Gilang Primajati, Ruslin Ruslin — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 01:32:34 +0000

Mathematics learning is often considered abstract and less relevant to real life, making it difficult for students to understand the concept. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) offers an approach that helps students build understanding through real situations. The Peresean tradition with its competition structure and cultural values has the potential to be a concrete and meaningful combination learning context. This study aims to design a realistic mathematics learning design that integrates the Peresean tradition into a combination of materials at the Senior High School level. The main problem behind this study is the low understanding of students towards the combination concept due to the delivery of material that is too abstract and has minimal relevance to real life. The RME approach offers a solution through the use of the real context of the Peresean Tradition which was chosen because it has a competition structure that has the potential to be mathematically modeled in the combination context, such as selecting opponents or compiling match schemes. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of design research in the development studies category. The research process is limited to the preliminary design stage, which includes context analysis, literature studies, and the development of learning designs. The research results are in the form of a theoretical and contextual culture-based learning design, which is validated reflectively based on RME principles and suitability to the curriculum.

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 00:56:34 +0000

Fraction sense is a critical aspect of number sense, particularly for prospective mathematics teachers. This study aims to describe students’ fraction sense from two main perspectives: visualization and estimation strategies. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method involving 80 fourth-year mathematics education students. Data were collected through a fraction sense test and semi-structured interviews. The findings indicate that students’ overall fraction sense was moderate, with an average score of 37.2. Students demonstrated higher performance in estimation strategies (68%) compared to visual representation tasks (32%). Many students struggled to interpret visual fraction models, especially when presented in unfamiliar forms such as non-standard diagrams or number lines. The results suggest that students' thinking remains procedural and lacks conceptual flexibility. Therefore, it is recommended that visual representation be more explicitly integrated into teaching practices as a tool to support estimation and foster meaningful fraction sense.

Prediksi Jumlah Wisatawan Asing Masuk ke Indonesia Tahun 2026 Menggunakan Model Rantai Markov

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 01:22:14 +0000

Indonesia's tourism sector experienced a drastic decline due to the pandemic, with the number of foreign tourists falling by 64.64% in 2020, disrupting contributions to the country's GDP and foreign exchange. The lack of application of stochastic models to predict foreign tourist arrivals nationwide is a challenge in policy planning. This research aims to build a Markov Chain-based prediction model to estimate the number of foreign tourists in 2026, overcoming the weaknesses of conventional approaches that are deterministic. The method used is the analysis of the probability of transition between states (Increase/Decrease/Stable) based on historical data of tourist arrivals. The prediction results show that the number of foreign tourists in 2026 reached 18,202,215 people, indicating an optimistic growth trend and potential recovery of the tourism sector. The conclusion of this study confirms that the Markov Chain model is effective for macro projection of tourist fluctuations, so that it can be a reference in the preparation of adaptive and data-based tourism policies.

Modifikasi Operator Weighted Backward Shift untuk Membentuk Operator Hypercyclic pada Ruang Barisan

Nur Afandi, Septri Damayanti, Ratna Widayati — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 07:00:22 +0000

The linear operator T: X --> X is called an hypercyclic operator if there exist such that the orbit of under the operator T is dense in X. This study aims to construct an explicit hypercyclic operator on the sequence space \(\ell^p\), by modifying the backward shift operator using a non-constant weight sequence. This approach differs from Rolewicz's classical method, which used constant weights. The method applied is constructive and formal, relying on deductive reasoning in mathematical proofs. Two operators—weighted left and right shifts—are introduced and their properties are analyzed, including their composition and iterative behavior. The main result is the construction of a specific operator \(S_\bold{a}\) weighted by \(\bold{a}=(a_n)\) that is proven to be hypercyclic. The proof involves demonstrating the existence of a vector whose orbit under \(S_\bold{a}\) is dense in \(\ell^p\).

Mathematical representation ability is one of the essential and fundamental components that students need to express their mathematical ideas during the learning process. However, field observations show that students' ability to represent mathematical ideas is still relatively low, including those related to the topic of quadrilaterals. This condition is influenced by the diversity in students’ learning processes, one of which is caused by differences in learning styles. To investigate this issue, a study is needed to obtain a comprehensive description of students' forms of mathematical representation in solving quadrilateral problems, viewed from the perspective of their learning styles. The learning style used in this study is Honey and Mumford's learning style model. This study employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The subjects of the study were three eighth-grade students from MTsN in Mataram City. The data collection techniques used in this study were questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The results showed that students with an activist learning style tend to experience difficulties in modeling their ideas geometrically when solving problems related to quadrilaterals. They were less able to model and interpret problems in detail. However, when faced with problems that involved representing their ideas to find solutions to real-life situations, in general, students with an activist learning style were able to find appropriate solutions.
