In this paper, we introduced that the differences and reasons about oriental and western consciousness structure by borrowing from Dr. Richard E. Nisbett who is a professor of Michigan University of USA and writer of . And then, we introduced two survey results about likeness, dislikeness and aesthetic sence on mathematics. In their surveys, we researched the differences and attitudes between Korean male students and female students. Furthermore, we present a new educational curriculum to promote university students' various culture consciousness on mathematics.

This study discussed about how pseudo-thinking process actually occurs in the mind of the students, used Piaget's frame work of the assimilation and accommodation process. The data collection is conducted using Think-Out-Loud (TOL) method. The study reveals that pseudo thinking process of covariational reasoning occurs originally from incomplete assimilation, incomplete accommodation process or both. Based on this, three models of incomplete thinking structure constructions are established: (1) Deviated thinking structure, (2) Incomplete thinking structure on assimilation process, and (3) Incomplete thinking structure on accommodation process.

The mathematical and simulation models to estimate the monthly average daily solar irradiance onthe terminal cladodes of platyopuntia were established. An east-west facing cladode showed maximum irradiance from March to October, while south-north facing one did from November to February from themodel. The orientations and the tilt angles were practically measured on Hallim-eup, Cheju-do. They tended to face east-west, but the overall distribution was deviagted at about 10。 was owing to the southern east wind blowing strongly at that time. The most cladodes inclined to the north or the west rather than erected vertically to the ground. It is thought that the tilt angles were also affected by the southern east wind.

Let f:R.rarw.R be a continuous function on the real line R, and denote the n-th iterate of f by f$^{n}$ :f$^{1}$=f and f$^{n}$ =f.f$^{n-1}$ for n>1. A point x.mem.R is a periodic point of f of period k>0 if f$^{k}$ (x)=x but f$^{i}$ (x).neq.x for all 01, then it must also have a fixed point, by the intermediate Theorem. Also the question has an intriguing answer which was found by ths Russian mathematician Sharkovky [6] in 1964.

Students' mathematics application ability is a hot spot which mathematics education pays attention. So, I have carried on the test of mathematics application and the questionnaire survey to student of Senior One of the two middle schools. Through the test and the investigation, I discover that the level of the students' mathematics application ability is not high. To the simple application question, the difference of the male and the female is not big, but to the difficult application question, the male and the female has the remarkable difference. The students' lack of flexible and the original cognition monitoring ability in mathematics application process are afraid of studying mathematics application since childhood and lack of the training of this aspect. They thought mathematics foundation and reading understood ability is the key of mathematics application. Through analysis result of investigation, this paper proposed the way to raise mathematics application ability of students.

The present study develops the given theme “Mathematics and Reality” along two lines. First, we explore the answers, in its various facets, to the following question: How is it possible that mathematics shows such wondrous efficiency when explaining nature\ulcorner In addition to a comparative analysis between empiricism and rationalism, constructivism as a function of idealism is compared with realism within the frame provided by rationalism. The second step involves limiting our discussion to realism. We attempt to explain the various stages of mathematical realism and their points of difficulty. Postulate of parallels, Godel's theorem, continuum hypothesis and choice axiom are typical examples used in demonstrating undecidable propositions. They clearly show that it is necessary to mitigate the mathematical realism which depends on bivalent logic based on an objective exterior world. Lowenheim-Skolem theorem, which states that reality is composed not of one block but rather of diverse domains, also reinforces this line of thought. As we can see the existence of undecidable propositions requires limiting the use of reductio ad absurdum proof which depends on the concept of excluded middle. Consequently, it becomes obvious that bivalent logic must inevitably cede to a trivalent logic since there are three values involved: true, false, and undecidable.

Students might find different solutions to the quadratic inequalities according to the range of the number representing the character of the inequalities. They have confusion when the roots of a quadratic inequality are complex numbers since the character of the inequalities generally represents the real number in the mathematics textbooks. Therefore we suggest that we must explain definitely the range of the number representing the character for each inequality question.

Although subway system continues to be the backbone of transportation systems in a city like Seoul, there will still be areas across the city where subway services are not avaliable. Interest has steadily grown to fill this missing routes in overall urban transportation system. Light Rail Transit (L.R.T) system has been recently thought to be an appropriate mode of transportation by businessmen, professionals and transportation industry. In this regards, the purpose of this study is to explore whether L.R.T can be a feasible form of urban rail mode in the context of Seoul. First, the study develops the mathematical models to derive optimum route networks and stations. Integer Programming is employed to determine whether alternative routes are financially viable from the viewpoint of revenue maximization principles. Second, mathematical models developed are applied to Yoido area in order to examine the validity of model structures. The models constructed turns out be capable of handling alternative routes and stations. Application of models are successfully carried out to derive financially feasible set of routes and stations.

The Korean government initiated an educational policy regulating academic acceleration in schools (e.g., regulating teaching or assessing above-grade-level content) in order to normalize public education and prevent the growth of private tutoring. To analyze whether the policy is achieving its intended goals, this study examined how high school mathematics teachers responded to the policy. The findings indicate four distinct teacher responses: the teachers would teach above-grade-level lessons in classes, but not assess them on a test; the teachers sought academic acceleration to prevent excessive private tutoring, although the policymakers thought that teachers' academic acceleration results in an excessive demand for private tutoring; the teachers were willing to teach above-grade-level content for students, but they were reluctant to teach below-grade-level content due to the time constraints; and the teachers recognized that the policy limited their curricular autonomy, even though it was intended to ensure their autonomy. Implications for mathematics teacher educators and policymakers are discussed.

학생들이 수학 교과서에 대해서 어떻게 생각하는지 또한 학습에서 어떻게 활용하는지에 대하여 알려진 바가 거의 없다. 이 연구에서는 고등학생들이 수학 교과서를 어떻게 인식하고 활용하는지를 탐색하고자 하였다. 인터뷰 질문지를 개발하여서 고등학생 11명을 대상으로 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 그 결과로, 다음 세 가지 측면을 발견하였다. 첫째, 학생들은 교과서를 수업에서 활용하는 자료로 인식하며 대학 입학시험을 준비하는 데 중요한 교재로 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 학생들은 교과서를 학교에서 시행하는 중간 또는 기말고사 등 정기고사 시험을 대비하는 데 있어서 필수로 사용하지만, 실질적인 학습에는 매우 한정하여서 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 학생들은 교과서를 통해서 기르고자 하는 수학적 사고능력이 무엇인지에 대하여서는 거의 파악하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.
