Abstract
Newman’s Error Analysis of Common Errors in Solving Convergence of Power Series Using Ratio Test
Highlights
Instructors always wanted the best for their students, that is why there are various type of methods for teaching and learning
Instructors always guided the students on understanding the problem and the methods to solve it until they got the correct solution
Sulistyorini (2018) used the same approach in error analysis solving geometry problem, where the results show that error occurred because of the misunderstanding of line segment’s measure that led to failure to understand triangles
Summary
Instructors always wanted the best for their students, that is why there are various type of methods for teaching and learning. Instructors always guided the students on understanding the problem and the methods to solve it until they got the correct solution. Students often relied on instructors for examples while practicing their exercise. Combining the examples from the instructors and error analysis by both instructors and students, it helped in better understanding in mathematics problem solving. Students must learn the necessary underlying mathematical concepts and consider the terminology and notation used in the problem. If the plan does not seem to be working, students should start over and try another approach. Last principle is look back where students need to find a potential solution, check to see if it works by answering some question, i.e., “Did you answer the question?” or “Is your result reasonable?”. Students may proceed with the conclusion otherwise students have to repeat second and third principles
