Abstract

Mathematics  plays  a  crucial  role  in  developing  students'  logical,  analytical,  and systematic thinking skills, including in the discipline of Development Economics. One important  aspect  of  mathematics  is  mathematical connections,  namely  the  ability  to connect  mathematical  concepts  across  topics,  with  other  disciplines,  and  with  real-world  contexts.  As  one  of  the  abilities  in  mathematics,  connection  skills  must  be cultivated in students. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study entitled Analysis of  Mathematical  Connection  Skills  of  Development  Economics  Students  in  Solving Sequence  and  Series  Problems.  The  research  was  conducted  in  the  Development Economics  study  program,  Faculty  of  Economics  and  Business,  Al-Azhar  Islamic University.  The  objects  of  this  study  were  32  second-semester  students.  The  type  of research used was qualitative research. The results of this study obtained an average percentage of mathematical connection skills of 77.2%, which means that almost all students in the Development Economics study program have moderate mathematical connection skills
