Abstract

In his book "Exercitationum Mathematicalarum," a 17th-century mathematician van Schooten proposed linkages for drawing parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola. The linkages proposed by van Schooten can be used in action-based mathematics education and as a material for using mathematical history in school mathematics. In particular, students are not provided with the opportunity to learn by manipulating the quadratic curves in the high school curriculum, so van Schooten's linkages can be used for school mathematics. To this end, a method of implementing van Schooten's linkage in a dynamic geometry environment was presented, and proved that the traces of the figure drawn using van Schooten's linkage were parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola.

17세기 수학자 van Schooten(1657)은 저서 'Exercitationum mathematicarum'에서 포물선, 타원, 쌍곡선을 그리기 위한 연동장치를 제시하였다. van Schooten이 제시한 연동장치는 활동 중심 수학교육과 학교수학에서 수학사를 활용하기 위한 소재로 사용될 수 있다. 특히 학생들이 고등학교 교육과정에서 이차곡선을 조작하며 학습할 기회를 제공받지 못하고 있다는 점에서, van Schooten의 연동장치는 활동과 탐구 중심의 수학교육을 실현하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 이를 위해 van Schooten의 연동장치를 동적 기하 환경에서 구현하는 방법을 제시하고, van Schooten의 연동장치를 이용하여 그린 도형의 자취가 포물선, 타원, 쌍곡선임을 증명하였다.
