Investing in mining stocks, investors often face risk problems. Usually to minimize risk, it is done by forming an investment portfolio. This paper aims to discuss the optimization of the investment portfolio. The data analyzed are several mining stocks traded on the capital market in Indonesia. Optimization is done using the mean-absolute deviation model with the singular covariance matrix method and the non-singular covariance matrix method to determine the optimal weight of the two existing methods. Based on the results of the optimization, we can obtain a weight allocation composition that provides an optimal portfolio. In addition, we also estimate the amount of return on expectations and risks in the optimal portfolio formed. So that the composition of this optimal weight can be used as a consideration for investors in investing their capital in several analyzed mining stocks.

By the characteristics of mathematics, which has the object of study is abstract, then the abstraction becomes an important part that can not be separated from mathematics. The development of abstraction theories, either directly or not, will be closely related to the process of learning mathematics in the classroom. Also, the rapid development of virtual manipulatives media in the world of mathematics education can bring a good influence on the learning process that takes place in the classroom. In this regard, this paper aims to examine theories of abstraction in mathematics and its possible implementation in mathematics education which is integrated with virtual manipulatives media to provide a choice to overcome various problems of learning mathematics. In the world of mathematics education, some abstract concepts in mathematics will be more easily learned through empirical abstraction processes such as introducing the concept of positive integers in students. However, when abstract concepts are not allowed to be empirically introduced to the students, the role of virtual manipulatives media can be one of the alternatives to choose from. Also, virtual media manipulatives can be utilized to facilitate the process of reflective abstraction and theoretical abstraction

A teacher should present a lesson concept well, not just only using it to solve a question on exams. However, the teacher should make their students understand all of the concepts. This thing should be built since we are in a golden age or elementary school. Elementary school teacher should have better skills in teaching, because they teach a lesson base, especially mathematics. If students do not understand the base of mathematics, they will not be able to solve more complex mathematics problems. Therefore, logical thinking skill is needed for this, especially for an elementary school teacher. This research aims to see whether students of prospective elementary school teacher have a good logical thinking skill or not. To do so, we used the descriptive qualitative method. We presented an easy mathematics questions to see their logical thinking skills. The result shows that prospective elementary school teacher students did not have good logical thinking skills yet. They still should increase their logical thinking skills to be a better teacher. Their lecturer should have a better teaching concept to make a better elementary school teacher later.

This paper is a little practical reflection of the idea proposed by Freudenthal in his book titled 'Revisiting Mathematics Education'. Theoretically, a fundamental study of more philosophical mathematical meanings was discussed by Freudenthal through the terms 'wiskunde' and 'wiskunst'. In essence, wiskunde means mathematics as an exact science, while wiskunst means an art in mathematics and science. Although there has been a lot of research that shows the success of RME in learning, the results of research that can contrast explicitly how the wiskunde and wiskunst phenomena work in the process of solving mathematical problems are still rarely found. This study aims to see the tendency of students towards the phenomenon of wiskunde or wiskunst in working on elementary math problems then describe the psychological factors and impacts that might be influential. This study used literature review and qualitative methods through the interview process for students who were given two elementary school math problems. Four out of forty students from fourth semester were chosen to be interview respondents to represent variations of the unique answers. Data analysis was carried out through a hermeneutic approach to student answers and interview transcripts. Research shows that the wiskunde phenomenon looks more dominant than wiskunst. This is thought to be related to the symptoms of psychological blockages of student's college who are predominantly working on elementary math problems still using the very formal formulas, they should still be able to show a way of thinking like an elementary school kid. The impact of this wiskunde tendency indicates the 'matherate' of students who have become blunt. The contrast of wiskunde and wiskunst's character and its reflection to the philosophy of education are discussed boldly in this paper.

This research is aimed to explore the cognitive load of learners in the learning process of rotating object volume as well as to provide alternative solutions in managing the intrinsic cognitive load, reducing the extraneous cognitive load as well as improving the germane cognitive load. This research was conducted in Muhammadiyah Purworejo Senior High School with the 3 (three) learners from XII grade as the subjects. The purposive sampling technique was used to determine the research subject. The data collecting method used were test and interview. The data were analyzed by using a qualitative descriptive analysis. This research has provided the results which show that the occurrence of intrinsic cognitive load in the learning process of a rotating object volume is caused by the amount of interactivity elements that have to be studied and the complexity of material learned. The interacting elements are Arithmetic, Algebra, the intersection between two curves, the concept and rule of integration, while the elements of material complexity are the difficulties in imagining the rotating object, and conducting the algebra operation. The occurrence of extraneous cognitive load in the learning process of rotating object volume is caused by the way of teacher delivering the meaningless materials as well as the absence of geometric illustration from the teaching performed by teacher. The next discussion is regarding the germane cognitive load in the learning process of rotating object volume, it is known that this cognitive load is very low. This condition is caused by the learning process in class that tends to be more conventional as well as the minimum activities of learners in studying the materials.

One of the main obstacles in crop cultivation is the occurrence of fungal infections. Fungal spores can spread due to direct contact between susceptible hosts and infected hosts, which can be controlled using botanical fungicides. We constructed a mathematical model of the growth of logistics on the spread of plant diseases. From this model, we show the value of the Basic Reproduction Number (ℜ0) of plant diseases transmission. The value of ℜ0 is obtained by finding the largest eigenvalue of the next generation matrix. The results obtained show that when ℜ0 is greater than one (ℜ0 > 1), the endemic equilibrium point will be stable. However, if ℜ0 is less than one (ℜ0 < 1), the endemic equilibrium point is unstable. In addition, the results of this discussion indicate that using botanical fungicides can reduce the infected host population. We provide numerical simulations to describe the results of the analysis obtained.

Representations play an essential role in solving mathematical problems. By using representations, problems that initially seem difficult and complicated can be seen more easily and simply. Semiotics is simply defined as the sign-using to represent a mathematical concept in a problem-solving. In Peirce's theory, semiotic consists of three aspects, namely sign, object, and interpretant. Semiotic reasoning is a process of deducing a conclusion based on the object, sign (representamen), and students interpretation in interpreting the meaning of the sign (interpretant). This paper aims to identify students' mathematical representations of semiotics reasoning in solving fraction problems. This study employed a qualitative approach and used an explorative descriptive type. The participants of the present study were three third grade students. The results show that the first participant used verbal, visual, and symbolic representation. The emerging visual representation was an image. The second participant solved problems by using verbal and visual representations. The visual representation that appears was a diagram. While, the third participant solved problems by using verbal, visual, and symbolic representations. The emerging visual representations were image and diagram.

Traffic is a very vital medium for various means of land transportation that connects various locations and even large cities. The smooth traffic of a city is one of the performance parameters of the local government. Furthermore, the smooth traffic determines the great development of economic, social, educational and technology. As the increasing level of civilization development and also the population, traffic becomes more congested and becomes a big problem that is very difficult to avoid. In this study, we proposed a traffic simulator system LINTAS-BD 1.2, or commonly called as "LINTAS" which served as a tool to solve traffic congestion problems. Various methods and traffic engineering designs can be simulated first through the LINTAS system, before they are actually implemented on the road. The benefit of the LINTAS is to evaluate and simulate traffic conditions based on the design of a particular method or traffic engineering. Furthermore, through simulations, it can be known and tested analytically about the level of accuracy, efficiency, and effectiveness of the method and design. Through the simulation, the most appropriate traffic management method can be found, so that the problem of traffic congestion can be solved. The model and the design system of LINTAS is the arrangement and integration of various blocks or modules included: roads, traffic light, arrival of vehicles, queues, servers, and various obstacles such as intersections, terminals, markets, branches, etc. These various blocks are then combined into a single unit application as a simulator. The objective of this research is to compile a simulation application (traffic simulator) that can be used as a tool to accurately predict traffic situations, and as a medium for testing traffic engineering. The LINTAS simulator is created using the SimEvents toolbox and runs on the MATLAB-Simulink software. The LINTAS system is compiled based on Mathematics, specifically the Queueing Theory.
