본 대학의 공학수학교육 정책 중의 하나로서 대학 입학 전인 2월 중에 예비대학을 개설하여 기초수학 수준별 특별교육을 실시하였다. 수준별교육의 일환으로써 야간대학 실업계 고교출신 직업학생들을 대상으로 실시한 기초수학[Pre-Calculus] 특별교육이 미분적분학 학습에 준 성공적인 결과를 분석하고, 향후 기초수학 수준별 특별교육을 통한 주야간 공과대학 미분적분학 교육의 발전적인 방향에 대하여 고찰해 보고자한다.

The purpose of this paper is to find out the effective teaching method and improvement for managing the special lecture of basic mathematics which is grouped by the level of low achievement students who are matriculants. From the result, we want to know how the lecture with teaching method of differentiated learning affect on the students, especially who have under achievement, to be interested and confidential in mathematics.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effects of the topics in basic mathematics on academic achievement in order to improve the problem-solving abilities of low achievement students in university general mathematics. This program has been conducted from P University as a part of Education Capacity Enhancing Project. The goals of this program are to make students who have fear to mathematics feel confident for mathematics, and make easier to study general mathematics and major field without any difficulties for the students. The topics in basic mathematics was enforced with solving problem based on comprehension of the basic concept and computer-based learning. The classes were organized as Algebra-Geometry, Calculus, and General mathematics class by students' applications for classes and basic academic ability. As a result, the topics in basic mathematics has been evaluated as positive way to effect satisfaction and learning effect for the students who have low-level in basic academic ability. And also, according to the survey, the result shows that assignment through Webwork system and Mathematica program practice are helpful for learning basic mathematics. But several measures are asked for participation in the class and prevention for quitter of participants.

In this paper, we selected 145 students from engineering college students who took P University's the Scholastic Level Assessment and registered the Basic Mathematics Class among the students who achieved 4th~7th grade in the mathematics B-type of the College Scholastic Ability Test. We compared and analyzed the correlation among the chosen students' grade for the College Scholastic Ability Test, test results of the Scholastic Level Assessment and mid-term test of the Basic Mathematics Subject, type of college entrance and actual condition survey of students in order to derive optimized teaching method for general mathematics subjects which can possibly increase the students' academic ability.

In order to find the structure and scheme of basic mathematics education in life and nano-related areas in university, I've studied how much the freshmen in those fields in the university know about the graphic expressions for the basic functions(quadratic function, rational function, irrational function, log function and trigonometric function), basic information contained in those graphs and basic high school mathematics. Also, I've examined mathematics used in books for majors related to those areas. The result of the study shows that there is a lack of understanding of the graphic expressions for basic functions, information contained in those graphs and basic high school mathematics. I've also found out that there is a difference in the amount and depth of mathematics used in each major in life and nano-related areas. According to the result of this study, the amount of understanding of freshmen with each major in basic high school mathematics needs to be reflected in structuring basic mathematics education in life and nano-related areas in university, and the amount and dept of content of mathematics should be considered in each major.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects on academic achievement for university basic mathematics in order to improve the problem-solving abilities of low achievement students in university general mathematics. In this paper, we suggest effective management strategies and teaching-learning methods according to level-based classes with utilizing scholastic level assessment, students survey, Mathematics Cafe and tutorial program, and also managing demonstration classes which are using Webwork system for assignments and evaluating the class.

In D university, 2010 year engineering freshmen were taken basic mathematical ability test and were given basic mathematical ability improvement program based on the test. In order to study the effect of this program for scholastic achievement, we analyse basic mathematical ability test score and college mathematics score among student groups. And to study the effect of this program for scholastic motivation, we survey the mathematical inclination, the recognition of mathematics, and classes of mathematics. As results, engineering freshmen in D university were poor at basic mathematical ability and basic mathematical ability improvement program effected scholastic achievement and motivation in mathematics, greatly. For the success of college mathematics in engineering college, this study suggests basic mathematical ability test and the survey for engineering freshmen's mathematical background. Finally, we suggest that college mathematics must be focused on the improvement of basic mathematical abilities.

Few colleges offer remedial basic math courses for college freshmen who have not passed math placement tests or whose scholastic aptitude test score in mathematics is low. This research is aiming for the curriculum development of basic college mathematics and its effective implementation. First, an in depth statistical analysis on the basic math courses for universities in Seoul area has been done. Second, diagnostic test and longitudinal study have been carried out for one institute. Based on these, basic concepts and areas critical for the success of Calculus course are extracted. Standards and contents for the remedial math courses are suggested.

In order to propose effective learning methods to teach basic mathematics course for students of business administration, we conducted the survey on recognition and attitude on mathematics subjects, and analyzed academic achievements of the business mathematics as a basic mathematics course in relation to the results of the survey. First, we investigated learning contents and problems difficult for students to understand in the course, and presented the instructional method and significance of them with examples. These learning contents and problems were collected from the students using the mathematics cafe. Furthermore, we analyzed types of the incorrect answers on the midterm and final examinations in the business mathematics. Although it is difficult to generalize the finding to all of the business administration students due to differences in academic level and educational environment, much work has been put in to present learning method of the business mathematics for students of business administration.
