One of the most important issues in mathematics education is to restore the educational foundation of school mathematics, which requires fundamental discussions about 'What are the reasons for teaching mathematics?'. This study begins with the problematic that mathematics education is generally pursued as an instrumental know-ledge, which is useful to solve everyday problems or develop scientific technology. This common notion cannot be overcome as long as the mathematics education is viewed as bringing up the learners' ability to work out practical problems. In this paper we discuss the value of mathematics education reflecting on the theory of 'two fold structure of mind'. And we examine the ideas pursued by mathematics educators analyzing the educational theory of Plato and Froebel. Furthermore, we review the mathematics educational theory of F. Klein, an educator who led the reformation of mathematics education in the early 20th century and established the basic modern philosophy and curriculum of mathematics education. In particular, reflecting on the 'two fold structure of mind,' we reexamine his mathematics educational theory in the aspect of the mind cultivation so as to elucidate his ideas more clearly. Moreover, for the more deep discussion about Klein's thoughts on the mathematics education, his viewpoint on tile teaching of 'functional thinking' for the mind cultivation is reexamined based on the research results found in the developments of mathematics education after Klein. As the result we show that under the current mathematics education, which regards mathematics as a practical tools for solving everyday problems and an essential device for developing science and technology, there is a more important value for cultivating the human mind, and argue that mathematics education should contribute to the mind cultivation by emphasizing such an educational value.

The initial-boundary value problem for a class of semilinear Klein-Gordon equation with logarithmic nonlinearity in bounded domain is studied. The existence of global solution for this problem is proved by using potential well method, and obtain the exponential decay of global solution through introducing an appropriate Lyapunov function. Meanwhile, the blow-up of solution in the unstable set is also obtained.

Based on the exact quantization rule for the nonrelativistic Schrodinger equation, the exact quantization rule for the relativistic one-dimensional Klein-Gordon equation is suggested. Using the new quantization rule, the exact relativistic energies for exactly solvable potentials, e.g. harmonic oscillator, Morse, and Rosen-Morse II type potentials, are obtained. Consequently the new quantization rule is found to be exact for one-dimensional spinless relativistic quantum systems. Though the physical meanings of the new quantization rule have not been fully understood yet, the present formal derivation scheme may shed light on understanding relativistic quantum systems more deeply.

We present the solution of Klein Gordon equation with new generalized Morse-like potential using SUSYQM formalism. We obtained approximately the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave function in a closed form for any arbitrary l state. We computed the numerical results for some selected diatomic molecules.

In this paper, $\tilde{2}$-essential rooted maps on the Klein bottle are counted and an explicit expression with the size as a parameter is given. Further, the numbers of singular maps and the maps with one vertex on the Klein bottle are derived.

In this paper, a Klein-Gordon equation is solved by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM), homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and modified homotopy perturbation method (MHPM). The approximation solution of this equation is calculated in the form of series which its components are computed easily. The uniqueness of the solution and the convergence of the proposed methods are proved. The accuracy of these methods are compared by solving an example.

Recently it is suggested that it may be possible to obtain the approximate or exact bound state solutions of nonrelativistic Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equation from relativistic Klein-Gordon equation, which seems to be counter-intuitive. But the suggestion is further elaborated to propose a more detailed method for obtaining nonrelativistic solutions from relativistic solutions. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method with the Morse potential as an example. This work shows that exact relativistic solutions can be a good starting point for obtaining nonrelativistic solutions even though a rigorous algebraic method is not found yet.

This paper, we investigate a strongly damped nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with nonlinearities of variable exponent type $$u_{tt}-{\Delta}u-{\Delta}u_t+m^2u+{\mid}u_t{\mid}^{p(x)-2}u_t={\mid}u{\mid}^{q(x)-2}u$$ associated with initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain. We obtain a nonexistence of solutions if variable exponents p (.), q (.) and initial data satisfy some conditions.

Let M be the exterior of a hyperbolic link K ∪ L in a homology 3-sphere Y, such that the linking number lk(K, L) is non-zero. In this note we prove that if γ is a slope in ∂N(L) such that the manifold ML(γ) obtained by γ-Dehn filling along ∂N(L) contains a Klein bottle, then there is a bound on Δ(μ, γ), depending on the genus of K and on lk(K, L).
