We consider how a pre-service teacher can understand and utilize various concepts of Euclidean geometry by learning conic sections using mathematical definitions in non-Euclidean geometry. In a third-grade class of D University, we used mathematical definitions to demonstrate that learning conic sections in non-Euclidean space, such as taxicab geometry and Minkowski distance space, can aid pre-service teachers by enhancing their ability to acquire and accept new geometric concepts. As a result, learning conic sections using mathematical definitions in taxicab geometry and Minkowski distance space is expected to contribute to enhancing the education of pre-service teachers for Euclidean geometry expertise by fostering creative and flexible thinking.

School geometry takes various approaches such as deductive, analytic, and vector methods. Especially, the mathematical connections between these methods are closely related to the mathematical connections between geometry and algebra. This article analysed the geometric consequences of vector algebra from the viewpoint of teacher's subject-matter knowledge and investigated the connections between the geometric proof and the algebraic proof with vector and inner product.

This article focused the meaning of Pythagoras' and Euclid's proof about the Pythagorean theorem in a historical and mathematical perspective. Pythagoras' proof using similarity is based on the arithmetic assumption about commensurability. However, Euclid proved the Pythagorean theorem again only using the concept of dissection-rearrangement that is purely geometric so that it does not need commensurability. Pythagoras' and Euclid's different approaches to geometry have to do with Birkhoff's axiom system and Hilbert's axiom system in the school geometry Birkhoff proposed the new axioms for plane geometry accepting real number that is strictly defined. Thus Birkhoff's metrical approach can be defined as a Pythagorean approach that developed geometry based on number. On the other hand, Hilbert succeeded Euclid who had pursued pure geometry that did not depend on number. The difference between the proof using similarity and dissection-rearrangement is related to the unsolved problem in the geometry curriculum that is conflict of Euclid's conventional synthetical approach and modern mathematical approach to geometry.

Taxicab distance function is a practical distance notion which gives us information of real world pathway distance that really taxi can go through. As one of the non-Euclidean geometry, this study of an ideal city with all roads running horizontal or vertical, was introduced by the Russian Mathematician H. Minkowski and synthetically reported by the E. F. Kraus in 1986. After that, there were many reports and papers on this topic and still being researched. At this point of view, our research about taxicab geometry provides its differences from Euclidean plane geometry, and considers about several theorems on plane geometry using the taxicab distance function.

This paper presents a hybrid approach to the construction of quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes based on parallel bundles in Euclidean geometries and circulant permutation matrices. Codes constructed by this method are shown to be regular with large girth and low density. Simulation results show that these codes perform very well with iterative decoding and achieve reasonably large coding gains over uncoded system.

점과 선은 도형의 기초이며 수학과 물리학에서 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 도형의 발달은 고대 이집트에서 이루어졌으며 이러한 도형의 발달은 그리스에서 체계화 되었으며 대표적으로 유클리드의 '기하학 원론'에서 점과 선에 대한 정의와 공리 등에 인하여 기하학은 발전하였다. 이러한 점에 관한 정의는 시대에 따라 재해석되고 논쟁과 토론의 과정을 거쳐왔으며. 즉 '점이 부분이 없는 것'이라는 기하학 원론'의 정의는 점의 존재성에 대한 다양한 철학적 사유를 이끌었으며 19세기 수학 기초의 위기 속에서 다양한 수학적 접근법이 나타나게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 점의 기존의 정의와 다양한 접근 방법에 대해서 살펴보고자 한다.

In this study, we research distinctive features of geometry problem solving of middle school students whose mathematical achievement levels are distinguished by National Assessment of Educational Achievement. We classified 9 students into 3 groups according to their level : advanced level, proficient level, basic level. They solved an atypical geometry problem while all their problem solving stages were observed and then analyzed in aspect of development of geometrical concepts and access to the route of problem solving. As those analyses, we gave some suggestions of teaching on mathematics as students' achievement level.
