Current up-to-date courses of study put emphasis on raising creative students. However, the cramming methods of teaching mathematics in the school seems far from the creativity and the number of students who feels mathematics difficult is increasing. To overcome this situation, the government proposed 'the mathematics education using storytelling', which leads to lots of developments of mathematics using serious game in many areas. However most of the current serious games couldn't do away with the deductive framework of mathematics, which makes it impossible to achieve the purpose of raising creative students. This is because existing mathematics serious games have not deeply contemplated many aspects such as the purpose and theories of teaching and teaching mathematics. Therefore, in order to overcome the limitations of cramming methods in existing mathematics educations, this research proposes the new method of developing serious game contents for elementary geometry that is useful to improve mathematical intuition, based on RME, the theory of teaching/learning mathematics.

In this paper we investigate the qualitative behaviour of numerical approximation to a class delay differential equation. We consider the numerical solution of the delay differential equations undergoing a Hopf bifurcation. We prove the numerical approximation of delay differential equation had a Hopf bifurcation point if the true solution does.

The study aims to reflect the elementary school geometry education based on the Realistic Mathematics Education in the Netherlands in the light of the results from recent researches in geometry education and the direction of geometry standards for school mathematics of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in order to induce implications for improving korean geometry curriculum and textbook series. In order to attain these purposes, the present paper reflects the history of elementary school geometry education in the Netherlands, sketches the elementary school geometry education based on the Realistic Mathematics Education in the Netherlands by reflecting general goals of the mathematics education, the core goals for geometry strand of the Netherlands, and geometry and spatial orientation strand of Dutch Pluspunt textbook series for the elementary school more concretely. Under these reflections on the documents, it is analyzed what is the characteristics of geometry strand in the Netherlands as follows: emphasis on realistic spatial phenomenon, intuitive and informal approach, progressive approach from intuitive activity to spatial reasoning, intertwinement of mathematics strands and other disciplines, emphasis on interaction of the students, cyclical repetition of experiencing phase, explaining phases, and connecting phase. Finally, discussing points for improving our elementary school geometry curriculum and textbook series development are described as follows: introducing spatial orientation and emphasizing spatial visualization and spatial reasoning with respect to the instruction contents, considering balancing between approach stressing on grasping space and approach stressing on logical structure of geometry, intuitive approach, and integrating mathematics strands and other disciplines with respect to the instruction method.

Among the distance based algorithms in phylogenetic tree reconstruction, the neighbor-joining algorithm has been a widely used and effective method. We propose a new algorithm which counts the number of consistent quartets for cherry picking with tie breaking. We show that the success rate of the new algorithm is almost equal to that of neighbor-joining. This gives an explanation of the qualitative nature of neighbor-joining and that of dissimilarity maps from DNA sequence data. Moreover, the new algorithm always reconstructs correct trees from quartet consistent dissimilarity maps.

In this paper, when N is a compact Riemannian manifold, we discuss the method of using warped products to construct timelike or null future complete Lorentzian metrics on $M{\;}={\;}[\alpha,\infty){\times}_f{\;}N$ with specific scalar curvatures.

In this paper we establish a counting method for the Green classes of the Birget-rhodes expansion of finite groups. As an application of the results, we derive explicit enumeration formulas for the Green classes for finite groups of order pq and a finite cyclic group of order $p^m$, where p and q are arbitrary given distinct prime numbers.

A globally convergent algorithm for solving equilibrium problems is proposed. The algorithm is based on a proximal point algorithm (shortly (PPA)) with a positive definite matrix M which is not necessarily symmetric. The proximal function in existing (PPA) usually is the gradient of a quadratic function, namely, ${\nabla}({\parallel}x{\parallel}^2_M)$. This leads to a proximal point-type algorithm. We first solve pseudomonotone equilibrium problems without Lipschitzian assumption and prove the convergence of algorithms. Next, we couple this technique with the Banach contraction method for multivalued variational inequalities. Finally some computational results are given.

In this paper, we try to approach chasos with numerical method. After investigating nonlinear dynamcis (chaos) theory, we introduce Lyapunov exponent as chaos\`s index. To look into the existence of chaos in 2-dimensional difference equation we computes Lypunov exponent and examine the various behaviors of solutions by difurcation map.

In the present study, we derive the problem of constructing a hypersurface family from a given isogeodesic curve in the 4D Galilean space $G_4$. We obtain the hypersurface as a linear combination of the Frenet frame in $G_4$ and examine the necessary and sufficient conditions for the curve as a geodesic curve. Finally, some examples related to our method are given for the sake of clarity.
