Abstract

Taylor series has a complicated structure comprising of various concepts in college major mathematics. This subject is a strong tool which has usefulness and applications not only in calculus, analysis, and complex analysis but also in physics, engineering etc., and other study. However, students have difficulties in understanding mathematical structure of Taylor series convergence correctly. In this study, after classifying students' mathematical characteristic into three categories, we use structural image of Taylor series convergence which associated with mathematical structure and operation acted on that structure. Thus, we try to analyze the understanding of Taylor series convergence and present the results of this study.

테일러급수는 대학 전공 수학의 여러 개념을 포함하는 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있다. 이 주제는 미적분학, 해석학, 복소해석학 등의 수학뿐만 아니라 물리학, 공학 등 다른 학문에서도 유용성과 응용성을 가진 강력한 도구이다. 그러나 학생들은 이 주제의 수학적 구조를 제대로 이해하는데 어려움을 느낀다. 이에 본 연구에서는 어떻게 학생들이 테일러급수 수렴을 이해하는지를 알기 위해서 학생들의 수학적 특징을 세 유형으로 분류한다. 그 후에 테일러급수 수렴의 구조적 상(image)을 이용해서 테일러급수 수렴에 대한 이해도를 분석하고 이에 대한 결과를 제시하고자 한다.
