"Mathematics educators agree that problem solving is one of the essential skills their students should possess, yet few mathematics courses or textbooks are devoted entirely to developing this skill. Supported by narrative, examples, and exercises, Ants, Bikes, and Clocks: Problem Solving for Undergraduates is a readable and enjoyable text designed to strengthen the problem-solving skills of undergraduate students. The book, which provides hundreds of mathematical problems, gives special emphasis to problems in context, often called story problems or modeling problems, that require mathematical formulation as a preliminary step. Both analytical and computational approaches, as well as the interplay between them, are included.With its lively and engaging writing style and interesting and entertaining problems, Ants, Bikes, and Clocks will strengthen students� mathematical skills, introduce them to new mathematical ideas, demonstrate for them the connectedness of mathematics, and improve both their analytical and computational problem solving. One of the remarkable and unusual features of this text is that it encourages students to use the computer for experimentation. In fact, Briggs uses a variety of tricks that encourage students to use any tool at hand to test their ideas."

"ABSTRAKPeristiwa putus cinta dapat memunculkan perasaan kehilangan dan grief, menurunkan self esteem, menimbulkan distress, memunculkan perilaku maladaptif, gangguan fisik, hingga gejala depresi seperti misalnya melakukan usaha-usaha melukai diri sendiri. Hal tersebut dapat terjadi ketika seseorang mempunyai coping yang maladaptif dalam menghadapi situasi yang menimbulkan stres. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan sebuah terapi untuk mengatasinya. Problem Solving Therapy (PST) merupakan sebuah intervensi kognitif perilaku (CBT) yang berfokus pada melatih sikap dan kemampuan pemecahan masalah yang adaptif. Tujuan terapi ini adalah membantu individu untuk dapat melakukan coping dengan lebih efektif pada situasi atau masalah yang dapat menimbulkan stres dan menurunkan tingkat stres. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain jenis one-group pre-test and post-test design. Pada desain penelitian ini, akan dilakukan pengukuran kepada setiap individu dalam kumpulan partisipan sebelum dan sesudah mengikuti intervensi yang diberikan, dengan menggunakan Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) dan Problem Solving Test. Partisipan yang didapat berjumlah 2 orang wanita berusia 23 dan 27 tahun. Intervensi PST dilakukan sebanyak 4 sesi. Problem Solving Therapy efektif dalam memunculkan coping yang adaptif pada kondisi putus cinta. sehingga pada akhirnya menurunkan tingkat stres pada dewasa muda paska putus cinta.

ABSTRACTBreakup can cause grief, distress, lowered self esteem, maladaptive behavior, physical disturbance and depression such self-destructive behavior. When there is no adaptive capability to solve breakups, it can worst its effect. Therefore, it will need to be solved immediately. Problem Solving Therapy (PST) is one of Cogntive Behavior Therapy that focused on training the individual to have adaptive problem solving skill. PST can train the coping skill and minimize the level of stress. This research uses one group pre-and-post test design non-experimental. This research also use Beck Depression Inventory and Problem Solving Test as an instrument to measure the therapeutic effect before and after the intervention. There are two female participants had joined this research. They are 23 and 27 years old. The intervention held in 4 sessions. In conclusion, PST is effective to improve adaptive coping style and reduce stress for female young adulthood on breakup."

"Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat efektvitas problem solving therapy untuk meningkatkan keterampilan pemecahan masalah pada remaja pria pelanggar status. Hasil penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa kenakalan remaja dan perilaku yang membahayakan kesehatan terkait dengan minimnya keterampilan pemecahan masalah, yang pada akhirnya dapat berpengaruh pada rendahnya performa akademis. Usaha intervensi bagi remaja pelanggar status banyak dilakukan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan memecahkan masalah sosial, salah satunya melalui Problem Solving Therapy (PST) yang berdasarkan pada prinsip terapi kognitif behavioral (D'Zurilla & Nezu, 2007). Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah seorang remaja pria pelanggar statusberusia 14 tahun. Intervensi diberikan dalam 7 sesi yang dibuat berdasarkan panduan umum PST. Untuk melihat keberhasilan program, dilakukan pengukuran sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan program dengan menggunakan alat ukur berupa pedoman wawancara dan kuesioner problem solving test yang dirancang oleh Nezu, Nezu, & D'Zurilla (2013). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa program intervensi yang dirancang, belum efektif untuk meningkatkan keterampilan pemecahan masalah. Program ini berhasil memberi pengetahuan mengenai langkah-langkah pemecahan masalah yang efektif dan meningkatkan keyakinan subjek untuk berubah, namun belum berhasil mengubah orientasi masalah subjek menjadi lebih positif. Beberapa saran yang dapat diberikan, antara lain melakukan pengujian alat ukur secara psikometrik, berusaha mempertahankan rapport yang baik dengan subjek selama berlangsungnya program, melakukan sesi follow-up untuk melihat hasil generalisasi keterampilan pemecahan masalah dalam situasi natural, serta melakukan pelatihan keterampilan sosial sebelum pelatihan keterampilan pemecahan masalah.

This study is aimed to investigate the effectiveness of problem solving therapy (PST) to improve problem solving skill in a male adolescent status offender. Previous study showed that juvenile delinquency and health-risk behaviour are related to lack of problem solving skill which then affect academic performance. Intervention for adolescent status offender were conducted frequently to improve social problem solving skill, one of them is PST which based on cognitive behavioral therapy principles. (D'Zurilla & Nezu, 2007).

Subject in this study is a male adolescent status offender aged 14 year. Intervention was performed in 7 session which designed based on general guidelines of PST. To determine the effectiveness of the intervention, measurement were performed before and after program using interview guideline and problem solving test questionnaire designed by Nezu, Nezu, & D'Zurilla (2013).

Result showed the intervention was not yet effective to improve problem solving skill. This progam is effective to deliver knowledge about steps of effective problem solving and enhance subject's willingness to change, but failed to change subject's problem orientation to be more positive.

Some suggestions for future study are to evaluate psychometric properties of the measure, to maintain good rapport with the subject during intervention,to provide follow-up session purposed to observe generalization of problem solving skill in natural setting, and to provide social skill training before problem solving skill training."
