The purpose of this paper was to discuss critical issues of 30% reduction and introduction of the contents for new Mathematics Curriculum at middle school in Japan in 2002. This paper consisted of three part: (1) The contents of the new mathematics curriculum in middle school in japan. (2) Discussion about critical issues of 30% reduction of the contents for new Mathematics Curriculum. (3) Proposal of the point of view about 2000 mathematics curriculum in Korea. The authors pointed out that the reduction of the mathematics curriculum in Korea should be considered of a true reduction more carefully.

The purpose of this study is to contribute research on mathematics education by reviewing earlier studies on teachers' communities. To do so, I searched literature on various kinds of teacher community such as study groups, video clubs, and lesson study. Teacher community has been studied for professional development of teachers and there existed many studies that teacher community help teachers develop their professionals in real. From reviewing literature, I suggest that researchers in Korea need to study about teachers' communities and to find ways using communities in teacher development programs.

Matsumoto Makoto is regarded as founding father of the Japanese school of Finsler geometry because he established the Japanese Society of Finsler Geometry in 1968 and organized the Symposium every year since then. In this paper, we investigate how Matsumoto initiated the study of this topic leaping over geographical limit and how Yano Kentaro and Kawaguchi Akitsugu had affected Matsumoto in the formation of the Japanese school of Finsler geometry. We also take a view of the role of É. Cartan who invented the concept of the connection in early 20th century in this regard.

Since 2022, textbooks in elementary school mathematics have been converted from national textbook system to authorization system, but it is pointed out that the composition of these new textbooks is almost the same as the existing national textbooks and the advantages of the authorization system cannot be utilized. Therefore a need has been raised to find out the composition of foreign textbooks. In order to compare the internal system of elementary mathematics textbook composition in Korea and Japan, Wakuwaku Sansu, one of Japan's elementary mathematical textbooks was analyzed and compared with Korean textbooks. As a result of the analysis, it was found that Japanese textbooks have more flexibility in the composition of the unit, the number of hours of the unit, the introduction of special lessons, and emphasis. This analysis will promote the diversity and creativity of the composition of elementary mathematics textbooks in Korea, providing implications for more efficient textbook compilation.

우리나라 임학은 전후 황무지와도 같은 벌판을 개척해 왔다고 볼수 있다. 사실 광복직후는 사회질서 정치질서의 혼란으로 학계의 체통같은 것은 생각 할 수도 없었고 그 정리에 착수한다는 것도 쉽게 될수 없었다. 임업기술 같은 것은 멀리 이조의 실학에 까지 찾아 볼수 있으나 전전 우리나라에서 임학다운 교육이 실시된 곳은 현 서울대학교 농과대학의 전신인 수원고등농림학교 임학과라고 볼수 밖에 없다. 이밖에 주로 일본의 대학 또는 고등농림학굥서 수학한 분들이 임학의 초석으로서 개척이라는 어려운 시련앞에 서게 되었든 것이다. 소위 해방이란 것은 당시 모든것은 백지상황에서 출발시켰다. 이의 열외가 될수 없듯이 임학도 첫머리부터 실을 풀고 마디를 맺어나가지 않으면 안되었다. 전후 약 30년이 흘렀는데 일단 이것을 10년을 구분해서 그 간의 임학계의 성격을 살펴본다.

야부우치 기요시는 일본의 대표적 과학사 학자로 중국 과학사 연구와 교육에 평생을 바친 세계적 석학이다. 지난 6월 2일 94세를 일기로 세상을 떠난 그는 한국에도 어지간히 관심을 가져 두 나라를 오가며 여러 차례 계속된 한ㆍ일 세미나에는 꼭 참석하고 강연했을뿐만 아니라 사실상 주도적 역할을 했던 인물이다. 그의 책 가운데 "중국의 과학문명", "중국의 수학", "중국의 천문학"등 세가지가 우리나라에 번역되어 많이 읽히고 있다.

전기.정보계열의 학과에서는 기초 과목으로 전자기학, 회로이론, 양자역학, 통계역학, 수학 따위인데, 정보 관계에서는 전자기학보다도 소프트웨어공학에 도움이 되는 과목을 4년간 교육해야 한다. 4년간이라고 해도 실질적으로 2년 반이므로 대학의 4년간이라는 것은 상당히 큰 문제를 안고 있다. 대학원 진학이 늘어가는 추세에서 학부만 마친 학생도 있으므로, 이것에 대해서는 산업계의 필요성을 받아들이는 동시에 산학 공동 또는 산관학의 협력 체제를 갖추어야 한다. 따라서 산업계와 대학이 일체가 되어 대학의 교과과정을 토의하는 자리를 마련해 교육 시책에 반영하는 것이 필요하다. 상호가 협력하는 시스템, 산업계와 대학이 융합할 수 있는 프로그램을 학회를 중심으로 한 중립의 자리에서 만들 필요가 있다.

Because a development figure is treated restrictively in elementary school, not only there are brought out the concept image, but also the definition of the development figure in textbook in not unique. Furthermore, since the comparison and analysis of 'definition element' between the materials in textbook are nor carried out, its educational value as well as the teaching for concepts and objectives does not give rise to public discussion. In this note, we will investigate the definition and teaching of the development figure in Korea and Japan. And through three viewpoints of its definition and related debate, we will consider the fundamental understanding and objectiveness of a development figure, and suggest its mathematical application. This study will promote teachers's critical and didactical insight for the didactical transposition.

In this paper we investigate the history of the education based on STEM which is one of the topics of teaching method of Mathematics and Science oriented to the student, Hand-on education be applying partly to college education and the case of the education of the subject "Mathematics and Science for Engineering" of Japan's college. The educational method based on STEM make the student to recognize by themselves the necessity of the mathematics in the study of the technological and engineering problem, and furthermore draw a conclusion which is the proper method to change from passive to positive the study attitude for the mathematics. But it is more or less unreasonable to apply directly to college education with not physical fusion but chemical fusion of S (science), T (technology), E (engineering) and M (mathematics). Therefore we make themselves to find T and E considered at graduation works. We propose Pseudo-STEM teaching method linking this recognition obtained through self-activity to the mathematics subject.

Until the 1950s, linear algebra was considered only as one of abstract and advanced mathematics subject among in graduate mathematics courses, mainly dealing with module in algebra. Since the 1960s, it has been a main subject in undergraduate mathematics education because matrices has been used all over. In Korea, it was considered as a course only for mathematics major students until 1980s. However, now it is a subject for all undergraduate students including natural science, engineering, social science since 1990s. In this paper, we investigate the early history of linear algebra and its development from a historical perspective and mathematicians who made contributions. Secondly, we explain why linear algebra became so popular in college mathematics education in the late 20th century. Contributions of Chinese and H. Grassmann will be extensively examined with many newly discovered facts.
