The increasing use of computers in mathematics and in mathematics education is strongly reflected in the teaching on Euclid geometry, in particular in the use of dynamic graphics software. This development has raised questions about the role of analytic proof in school geometry. One can sometimes find a proof which is rather more explanatory than the one commonly used. Because we, math educators are concerned with tile explanatory power of the proofs, as opposed to mere verification, we should devise ways to use dynamic software in the use of explanatory proofs.

In this article, the concept of rigidity of smooth surfaces in the three dimensional Euclidean space which naturally arises in elementary geometry is introduced, and the natural process of the development of rigidity theory for compact surfaces and its generalizations are investigated.

In this paper, we consider relationship between the mathematics and the fine arts. The former is one of the advanced sciences, the latter is one of the arts. But there is correlation between the mathematics and the arts. Here, we concern with the ancient greek mathematics, Euclidean geometry and the ancient greek arts. The ancient greek arts is classified with Geometric Style, Archaic Style, Classical Style and Hellenistic Style. The Geometric Style, Classical Style and Hellenistic Style are very effected by Euclidean geometry. Because the greek artists as keep the geometric proportion as the Euclidean's 5th postulates. The artist's cannon in just golden ratio 1:(1＋$\sqrt{5}$)/2.

This paper analyses conceptual change from Euclid's dictionary definition to Hilbert's mathematical definition about primitive terms in Geometry. Realism, conceptualism, nominalism about mathematical objects are related to this conceptual change.

In this paper, we implemented a scalar multiplier needed at an elliptic curve cryptosystem over standard basis in $GF(2^{163})$. The scalar multiplier consists of a radix-16 finite field serial multiplier and a finite field inverter with some control logics. The main contribution is to develop a new fast finite field inverter, which made it possible to avoid time consuming iterations of finite field multiplication. We used an algorithmic transformation technique to obtain a data-independent computational structure of the Extended Euclid GCD algorithm. The finite field multiplier and inverter shown in this paper have regular structure so that they can be easily extended to larger word size. Moreover they can achieve 100% throughput using the pipelining. Our new scalar multiplier is synthesized using Hyundai Electronics 0.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS library, and maximum operating frequency is estimated about 140MHz. The resulting data processing performance is 64Kbps, that is it takes 2.53ms to process a 163-bit data frame. We assure that this performance is enough to be used for digital signature, encryption & decryption and key exchange in real time embedded-processor environments.

In this paper, an architecture for modified Euclidean(ME) algorithm is proposed, which is using finite-state machine(FSM) instead of degree computation. Since the proposed architecture does not have degree computation circuits, it is possible to reduce the hardware complexity of RS(Reed-Solomon) decoder, so that a very high-speed RS decoder can be implemented. RS(255,239) decoder with the proposed architecture is implemented using Verilog-HDL and requires about 13% fewer gate counts than conventional one.

This article summarizes the historical changes of the secondary school geometry to give insights into the new direction of geometry education for the 21th century. Geometry has been considered as an essential subject in high school since mid-nineteen century in accordance with the social changes. Since the development of computer softwares such as CAD effects on the role of geometry in work and professional societies, the knowledge and skills the contemporary world require to school geometry have being changed. More focus on applications and modeling aspects, expansion of reasoning and problem solving, emphasis on design-related elements are features of the school geometry for the new century.

Some of school mathematics contents that have deep mathematical meanings are regarded as obvious and their importance is frequently overlooked. We first reexamined the mathematical meaning of pi as a constant. Then we indicated the educational implications of Archimedes' calculation method of pi and finally underlined the availability of pi as a valuable research topic in school mathematics.

본 연구는 기하학적인 특징 추출을 기반으로 얼굴 영상에서 얼굴표정을 인식하는 방법을 제시한다. 얼굴표정은 3가지 그룹으로 제한한다(무표정, 기쁨, 놀람). 표정에 관련된 기본 특징들을 추출하기 위하여 얼굴표정정영상에서 눈높이, 눈폭, 입높이, 입폭을 추출하여 데이터를 분석한다. 분석결과로 눈높이, 입폭, 입높이가 표정을 분별하는 주요 특징으로 추출되었다. 각 표정별 눈높이, 입폭, 입높이가 표정을 분별하는 주요 특징으로 추출되었다. 각 표정별 눈높이, 입폭, 입높이의 평균과 표준편차를 구하여 표정별 표준 템플릿을 작성하였다. 표정인식 방법은 최소 근접 분류기(nearest neighbor classifier)를 사용하였다. 새로운 얼굴표정 영상과 표준 템플릿간의 유클리드 거리를 계산하여 새로운 표정에 대하여 83%인식률을 얻었다.

In this Paper the change of trends over historical research of mathematics, that has been developed since 1970, is inquired. Most of all it deals with the controversy concerning so-called 'geometrical algebra'. It covers the contents of Euclid' work II. And the relation of the controversy with the change of direction over historical research of mathematics is examined.
