Abstract
Serat Centhini (Suluk Tambanglaras or Suluk Tambangraras-Amongraga) is one of the greatest literary works in New Javanese literature. Its construction began in 1742 Java (1814 AD) during Sunan Pakubuwana IV. The main reference is the Jatiswara book which was made in 1711 Java or 1783 AD during Sunan Pakubuwana III. This article tracks the arithmetic information contained in Serat Centhini, including cardinal numbers, ordinal numbers, Javanese calendar, and candrasengkala. The research was carried out by using the literature study method of Serat Centhini which is translated into Indonesian and transliterated in Latin script. The results showed that Serat Centhini recorded quite a lot of mathematical information which was used in the daily life of Javanese people. The results of this study can be used as teaching materials for ethnomathematics.
Highlights
Based on the Canggal Inscription (Sanjaya/Gunung Wukir), the Javanese people have used the base ten number, the place value system for units, tens, and hundreds, and using ten digits/numbers 0, 1, ..., 9 since 732
Serat Centhini is prepared as a book that collects all Javanese knowledge since the time of the Hindu Mataram Kingdom
Is that so? In connection with this question, this article is intended to report the results of tracing mathematical knowledge recorded in Serat Centhini
Summary
Based on the Canggal Inscription (Sanjaya/Gunung Wukir), the Javanese people have used the base ten (decimal) number, the place value system for units, tens, and hundreds, and using ten digits/numbers 0, 1, ..., 9 since 732. Application of this knowledge includes pronunciation of numbers (cardinal and ordinal), sengkala (candrasengkala and suryasengkala), modulo, and arithmetic operations. In each volume of Serat Centhini, there is never directly stated mathematical knowledge.
