Juara Nasional Matematika dari Jurusan Agroteknologi Universitas Nias

NIAS INFO | Tuti Ariani Bawamenewi, mahasiswi semester IV Agroteknologi di Fakultas Sains dan Teknologi Universitas Nias (FST UNIAS), sukses merengkuh gelar juara pertama nasional dalam bidang Matematika di kompetisi National Science and Social Competition (NSSC). Kompetisi ini berjalan secara daring pada tanggal 22 sampai 24 April 2024 dengan jumlah peserta mencapai seribu dari seluruh Indonesia. Tuti berhasil mendapatkan medali emas untuk tingkat perguruan tinggi. Di dalam perlombaan ini, terdapat delapan mata pelajaran yang diperlombakan, diantaranya Matematika, Biologi, Fisika, Bahasa Indonesia, Kimia, Ekonomi, Bahasa Inggris dan Geografi.

Tuti, lulusan dari SMK Negeri 1 Idanotae Nias Selatan, menceritakan bahwa ketika melanjutkan studinya ke tingkat universitas, ia memilih jurusan pertanian di FST UNIAS dan beruntung mendapatkan beasiswa. Meskipun memilih jurusan pertanian sejak SMK, ia tidak menemui kendala untuk menguasai Matematika. Menurut Tuti, ia mengetahui adanya lomba tersebut dari dosen yang mengirimkan link pendaftaran. Ia dan beberapa temannya mendaftar dan mengeksekusi ujian dari lomba tersebut hingga pengumuman pemenangan di tanggal 24 Maret.

Tuti mengatakan merasa bangga dan senang bisa meraih gelar juara dalam lomba tersebut. Ia berharap prestasinya ini bisa menjadi motivasi baginya untuk lebih semangat belajar. Tuti yakin bahwa kemampuan matematikanya bisa dikombinasikan dengan studinya di pertanian. Ia dapat menghitung jumlah pupuk yang harus digunakan, kadar yang tepat untuk tanaman, serta dosis penggunaan pupuk di setiap area satu hektar.

Tuti memiliki aspirasi untuk membuka lahan pertanian di desanya setelah lulus nanti. “Saya berharap bisa membuka lahan pertanian jika ada lahan tersedia di desa nanti,” ujarnya.

National Champion in Mathematics from the Department of Agrotechnology, Nias University

Tuti Ariani Bawamenewi, a fourth semester student of Agrotechnology at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Nias University (FST UNIAS), successfully won the national first prize in Mathematics at the National Science and Social Competition (NSSC). This competition will run online from 22 to 24 April 2024 with the number of participants reaching a thousand from all over Indonesia. Tuti managed to get a gold medal at college level. In this competition, there are eight subjects being contested, including Mathematics, Biology, Physics, Indonesian, Chemistry, Economics, English and Geography.

Tuti, a graduate of SMK Negeri 1 Idanotae South Nias, said that when she continued her studies at university level, she chose the agriculture major at FST UNIAS and was lucky to get a scholarship. Even though he chose agriculture as a vocational school major, he had no problems mastering mathematics. According to Tuti, she learned about the competition from the lecturer who sent the registration link. He and several friends registered and executed the exams from the competition until the winner was announced on March 24.

Tuti said she felt proud and happy to be able to win the champion title in the competition. He hopes that this achievement can be a motivation for him to be more enthusiastic about studying. Tuti believes that her mathematical skills can be combined with her studies in agriculture. He can calculate the amount of fertilizer that must be used, the appropriate levels for plants, as well as the dosage of fertilizer used in each one hectare area.

Tuti has aspirations to open agricultural land in her village after graduating. “I hope to open agricultural land if there is land available in the village later,” he said.
