Abstract

Nonlinear effects accompanied by external forces can cause the behaviour of the system to become more complex and difficult to explain using linear analysis. Therefore, analytical methods are needed to obtain approximate solutions. This paper presents an analysis of approximate solutions to nonlinear oscillation models subject to periodic external forces. The analysis was conducted using the Multiple Scales Method, a perturbation technique for obtaining asymptotic solutions to nonlinear differential equations. This approach is carried out by introducing several time scales and developing solutions as series in ε. The differential equations that model the system are analysed to orders.  and to obtain approximate solutions that describe the oscillation dynamics of the system. The analysis was performed under two main conditions: when the external force frequency approached the system's natural frequency (main resonance) and when the two were not close. In the non-resonance condition, several special cases were also examined: non-resonant, superharmonic resonance, subharmonic resonance, and low excitation frequency. The results show that first-order asymptotic solutions agree well with numerical solutions. The system response is influenced by parameters such as the amplitude and frequency of the external force, as well as the damping parameter. These findings support further research on more complex nonlinear systems and have practical applications in the design of vibration absorbers and rotating mechanical components to control resonance and improve system stability.

Abstract

The History of Mathematics Learning course is often taught theoretically and descriptively, thus not fully encouraging students to develop applicable academic skills, particularly in scientific writing and publication. In fact, scientific journal publication is an important indicator in strengthening students' academic literacy. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a project-based learning program for scientific journal writing and presentation in improving students' academic competencies. The method used is a qualitative approach with a program evaluation design based on the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) model. The study subjects comprised 57 students in the Mathematics Education Study Program who were taking the History of Mathematics Learning course. The instruments used consisted of interview guidelines, observation sheets, and documentation of student articles. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively through thematic analysis and document analysis techniques. The results show that this program is relevant to students' academic needs, supported by good resource readiness, and implemented systematically through a cycle of presentations and revisions that build a scientific culture. The scientific articles produced by students showed a significant quality improvement, with the majority successfully submitted to SINTA-indexed national journals. These findings suggest that integrating scientific journal writing into mathematics history courses not only enhances students’ critical thinking and academic literacy but also helps prepare future educators for scholarly publication, highlighting broader implications for mathematics education.
