Abstract

The administrative service in Chosun Dynasty relating to mathematics was carried out by the middle class(中人) mathematicians selected by the official selection examination(取才). They belong to HoJo(戶曹) department and their ranks are GyeSa(計士), ByulJe(別提), HunDo(訓導 = mathematics teacher), and GyoSu(敎授 = mathematics professor). We call them SanWon(算員). HunDo and GyoSu played very important role although their ranks are low, for they educate SanWon and manage the official selection examination. Using JuHakSeonSaengAn(籌學先生案, List of mathematics teachers) and JuHakIpGyukAn(籌學入格案, List of successful candidates in the official selection examination for mathematics), we investigate HunDo and GyoSu in Chosun Dynasty.

조선(朝鮮) 시대 수학에 관계된 행정 업무는 취재(取才)에 의하여 뽑힌 중인(中人) 산원(算員)들에 의하여 이루어졌다. 이들은 호조(戶曹)에 속하며, 직위는 계사(計士), 별제(別提), 훈도(訓導), 교수(敎授)이다. 산원(算員)들의 교육과 취재를 위하여 훈도(訓導)와 교수(敎授)들의 역할은 매우 중요하다. 주학선생안(籌學先生案)과 주학입격안(籌學入格案)을 통하여 훈도(訓導)와 교수(敎授)를 조사한다.
