In this paper we deals with Leibniz's definition of infinite and infinitely small quantities, infinite quantities and theory of quantified indivisibles in comparison with Galileo's concept of indivisibles. Leibniz developed 'method of indivisible' in order to introduce the integrability of continuous functions. also we deals with this demonstration, with Leibniz's rules of arithmetic of infinitely small and infinite quantities.

This mathematico-theological study addresses the Cantor's mathematics and theology of the infinite. From the scientific perspective, Cantor's landmark works opened the definition and logic of infinity in concreto, in abstracto, and in Deo. According to Cantor, the absolute infinite ${\Omega}$ could imply God's property beyond the actual infinite in physical and mathematical worlds.

In this paper, to analyze the initial valued non-homogeneous elastic half space by the scaled boundary analysis, the infinite element approach was introduced. The free surface of the initial valued non-homogeneous elastic half space was modeled as a circumferential direction of boundary scaled boundary coordinate. The infinite element was used to represent the infinite length of the free surface. The initial value of material property(elastic modulus) was considered by the combination of the position of the scaling center and the power function of the radial direction. By use of the mapping type infinite element, the consistent elements formulation could be available. The performance and the feasibility of proposed approach are examined by two numerical examples.

본고는 수학적으로 취급된 Cantor의 무한을 소개하기보다는 그가 가졌던 무한에 대한 태도는 매우 종교적이었고 철학적으로는 실재론적인 입장에 있다는 것을 보이려고 한다. 이를 위해 먼저 Cantor의 초한수론과 무한의 역사를 약술하고 그의 무한관이 기독교 신앙과 중세 철학에 근거해 있음을 제시한다. 또한 Cantor의 초한수론은 당시의 세계관과 시대정신에 도전하고 있음을 밝히려 한다.

Numerical modeling of problems having infinite and semi-infinite boundaries is studied using a coupled method of distinct elements and boundary elements. The regions which are restricted on stress concentration area of loading points, excavation surface, and geometric discontinuity in the underground structures, are modeled using distinct elements, while the infinite and semi-infinite regions are modeled using linear boundary elements. Linear boundary elements for infinite and semi-infinite region are respectively composed using the Kelvin's and the Melan's solution, respectively. For the completeness, the boundary element method, the distinct element, and the coupled method of distinct elements and boundary elements are studied independently. The coupled method is verified and is applied to underground structures of infinite and semi-infinite regions. Through the comparison of the results, it is concluded that the coupled analysis may be used for discontinuous underground structures in the effective manner.

The purpose of this study is to classify a three-fold role of the history of mathematics through epistemological analysis. Based on the history of infinity and limit, the "potential infinity" and "actual infinity" discourses are described using four different historical epistemologies. The interdependence between the mathematical concepts is also addressed. By using these analyses, three different uses of the history of mathematical concepts, infinity and limit, are discussed: past, present, and future use.

This paper presents a two dimensional p-version static infinite element for analyzing $1/r^n$ displacement decay type problems in unbounded media. The proposed element is developed by using shape functions based on approximate expressions of an analytical solution. Numerical results are presented for an opening in a homogeneous elastic infinite medium and a rigid footing rested on a homogeneous elastic half-space. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed infinite element.

This study proposes to analyze the concept and introduction of infinite creative space (makerspace) to redefine the roles of existing library spaces. This study also attempts to formulate a suitable program for public library makerspaces by analyzing case studies. Literature review and case study methods are used for deriving the makerspace concept, the evolution of makerspace, the implications posed by makerspace operation domestically and abroad, and the utilization of makerspace. Finally, we suggest story creation programs, topic-based programs reflecting the library characteristics, professional mentoring programs, expert consulting programs, various training programs, patent application support programs, incubator programs, and so on.

실제 지반은 경계가 없는 무한상태로 존재하기 때문에 지반구조물의 동적거동을 유한요소법을 이용하여 해석할 시 모델의 영역을 성립하는 것은 특별한 고려가 필요하다. 유한요소법에서의 동적해석은 파동의 전달을 포함하기 때문에 모델의 경계에서 인공적인 경계조건이 필요하다. 인공적인 경계 조건은 유한요소내의 지반상태를 무한상태로 변형시킬 수 있어야 하며, 경계에 도달하는 응력 파동을 모델내로 반사시키지 않고 흡수 할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 간단한 점 탄성 반무한 불연속 요소를 이용하여 지반구조물의 동적해석을 수행하는 방법을 보여준다. 반무한 요소의 실행은 OpenSees라는 유한요소 해석프로그램을 이용하여 수행되었으며, 예를 통하여 불연속 요소가 경계에 도달하는 응력 파동을 충분히 흡수하여 유한요소 모델을 반무한 상태로 전환 시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

공학문제에 있어서, 해석적으로 접근할 수 없었던 많은 경우의 문제들이 유한요소법(Finite Element Methods)의 정형화된 모형화 및 해석과정을 통하여 쉽게 접근되어질 수 있었다. 최근 보다 효율적인 요소개발과 컴퓨터 기술의 발달로 유한요소법은 더욱 효과적인 해석 수단이 되어가고 있다. 그러나 지반공학 문제와 같은 무한영역 문제를 유한요소법으로 해석할 경우, 매우 큰 영역을 모형화하기 위하여 많은 수의 요소가 요구되며 이에 따른 자유도(Degree of Freedom) 수의 증가로 많은 계산시간을 요구하게 된다. 본 고는 무한영역 문제를 효과적으로 모형화하기 위하여 연구, 개발되어진 무한요소(Infinite Element)에 대하여 소개하려 한다. 무한요소의 기본개념과 강성행렬의 형성방법을 보인 후, 기초공학 문제를 예로 하여 이의 적용방법을 간략하게 설명하였다.
