Understanding the equal sign is of great significance to the development of algebraic thinking. Given this importance, this study investigated in what ways a total of 695 students from second to sixth graders understand the equal sign. The results showed that students were successful in solving standard problems whereas they were poor at items demanding high relational thinking. It was noticeable that some of the students were based on computational thinking rather than relational understanding of the equal sign. The students had a difficulty both in understanding the structure of equations and in solving equations in non-standard problem contexts. They also had incomplete understanding of the equal sign. This paper is expected to explore the understanding of the equal sign by elementary school students in multiple problem contexts and to provide implications of how to promote students' understanding of the equal sign.

계측 시스템이나 시스템 식별을 수행할 때 정확히 모델링 되는 플랜트를 가정할 경우, 입출력 신호간 혹은 상태 변수들 사이의 비선형 함수 관계를 유도해 낼 수 있다. 그런데 특히 비선형 함수가 매우 복잡하여 해를 닫힌 형태로 구할 수 없을 경우 고려하는 변수들 양자간의 수학적 모델링을 기반으로 루프내 변수가 방정식의 해로 수렴하는 대수 루프를 구성할 수 있다. 이는 모델을 정확히 아는 시스템에 대하여 출력으로부터 입력을 추정하는 역시스템(inverse system)을 구성하는 것과 유사하다. 이러한 개념을 응용한 간단한 예로 용량형 센서의 입출력 비선형성을 제거해주는 역시스템을 대수 루프를 통하여 구현하였다. 또한 구현한 루프가 항상 유일한 해로 수렴할 수 있도록 하는 조건을 구하였다. 해석된 결과를 바탕으로 구현된 루프가 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 및 아날로그 회로 실험에서도 잘 동작함을 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과로 보인 잡음에 대한 강인성과 실제 회로 실험 결과는 대수 루프의 구현이 실제 용량형 센서 등에 용이하게 적용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

Studies on mathematically gifted students have been conducted following Krutetskii. There still exists a necessity for a more detailed research on how these students' mathematical competence is actually displayed during the problem solving process. In this study, it was attempted to analyse the algebraic thinking process in the problem solving a peg puzzle in which 4 mathematically gifted students, who belong to the upper 0.01% group in their grade of elementary school in Korea. They solved and generalized the straight line peg puzzle. Mathematically gifted elementary school students had the tendency to find a general structure using generic examples rather than find inductive rules. They did not have difficulty in expressing their thoughts in letter expressions and in expressing their answers in written language; and though they could estimate general patterns while performing generalization of two factors, it was revealed that not all of them can solve the general formula of two factors. In addition, in the process of discovering a general pattern, it was confirmed that they prefer using diagrams to manipulating concrete objects or using tables. But as to whether or not they verify their generalization results using generalized concrete cases, individual difference was found. From this fact it was confirmed that repeated experiments, on the relationship between a child's generalization ability and his/her behavioral pattern that verifies his/her generalization result through application to a concrete case, are necessary.

With the development of industry and standard of living, the quantity of groundwater consumption has been increasing. For the analysis of groundwater, to determine the hydraulic parameters of aquifer is very important. Various numerical methods have been developed to solve aquifer tests and eliminate the subjectivity of traditional graphical type curve methods. The slope-matching method, which matches the slope of the Theis type curve to the slope of the field data, can be used to numerically solve pump tests for both leaky and nonleaky aquifers. A FORTRAN program on based slope-matching method was developed to obtain the transmissivity, storage coefficient, and leaky factor from pumping test data automatically. Results derived from published data show that the improved slope-matching method gives parameters close to the ones derived by the slope-matching method.

A computationally efficient algorithm is presented for 3-D near-field source localization using a uniform circular away (UCA). Algebraic relations are demonstrated between the incident angles (elevation angle and azimuth angle) under the far-field assumption and the actual near-field location (range. elevation angle, and azimuth angle). Using these relations as paths to follow to the peak of the 3-D MUSIC spectrum, the proposed algorithm replaces the 3-D search required in the conventional 3-D MUSIC with a 1-D path following after a 2-D initialization. thereby reducing the computational burden.

The concept of equality is given as a way of reading the equal sign without dealing it explicitly in elementary school mathematics. The meaning of the equal sign can be largely categorized as operational and relational views. However, most elementary school students understand the equal sign as an operational symbol for just writing the required answers. It is essential for them to understand a relational concept of the equal sign because algebraic thinking in middle school mathematics is based on students' understanding of a relational view of the equal sign. Recently, the relational meaning of the equal sign is emphasized in arithmetic. Hence it is necessary for elementary school students to have some activities so that they experience a relational meaning of the equal sign. In this study, we investigate the meaning of the equal sign and contexts of the equal sign in elementary school mathematics to discuss explicit ways to emphasize the concept of equality and relational views of the equal sign.

Role-based access or attribute-based access control in cloud environment or big data environment need requires a suitable mathematical structure to represent a hierarchical model. This paper define the notion of multipliers and simple multipliers of lattice implication algebras that can implement a hierarchical model of role-based or attribute-based access control, and prove every multiplier is simple multiplier. Also we research the relationship between multipliers and homomorphisms of a lattice implication algebra L, and prove that the lattice [0, u] is isomorphic to a lattice $[u^{\prime},1]$ for each $u{\in}L$ and that L is isomorphic to $[u,1]{\times}[u^{\prime},1]$ as lattice implication algebras for each $u{\in}L$ satisfying $u{\vee}u^{\prime}=1$.

Many researchers have reported that 7th graders have severe difficulties in using letters and algebraic expressions. This study investigated the way Microsoft Excel contributes to student's understanding of letters and algebraic expressions. For six hours through two weeks, four 7th grade students experienced various activities with Excel after school and both before and after the experimentation, the interviews to check their understanding was conducted. The results were as follows; First, after the experimentation, students used various letters to express formulas and recognized that letters represent not only some objects but also changing objects. Also they accepted that same objects could be represented by different letters and different objects could be represented by the same letters. Second, Excel improved students' abilities to discriminate variables and invariables in the problem and to find mathematical relationships among variables. And with Excel students could divide the whole calculation procedure into several steps in order to handle it more easily. Also, Excel made immediate numerical feedback possible and it made students express the calculation in a more formalized way than a paper and pencil environment did.

유역 모형은 강우가 유출에 이르는 과정을 수문학적으로 재현해낼 수 있는 도구이다. 초기의 모형은 간단한 수준에서 유출과정을 모의하는데 그쳤으나, 기술이 발전함에 따라 유역 모형에 적용되는 매개변수의 수가 점차 늘어나게 되며 이론적 신뢰성과 복잡성을 동시에 갖게 되었다. 유역 모형은 집중형 모형과 분포형 모형으로 대별할 수 있는데, 기존에는 저류 함수법을 근간으로 하는 개념 기반의 HEC-HMS HEC-RAS 등과 같은 집중형 모형을 널리 사용한 반면, 점차 격자 기반에서 물리적 계산을 통해 유출 과정을 모의할 수 있는 GSSHA, Vflo, SWAT과 같은 분포형 모형의 활용이 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 집중형 모형은 관측자료를 통해 산정된 경험식에 의존하고 있는 반면, 분포형 모형의 경우 각 격자가 가지고 있는 시·공간적 매개변수를 통해 물리적으로 유출과정을 계산하여 신뢰성을 확보하기에 유리하며, 미계측 유역에서도 활용이 가능하다. 지하수는 유역 모형의 댜양한 매개변수들 중 지표면 유출량에 밀접한 영향을 미치는 인자이다. 그럼에도 아직까지 경험식에 의존한 집중형 모형이 주를 이루고 있는 국내에서는 분포형 모형에 적용가능한 매개변수 최적화에 대한 연구는 미진한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 분포형 유역 모형의 침투모의 과정에 관여하는 공간 매개변수 중 밀접한 연관을 띠고 있는 대수층 깊이에 대하여 분석하였다. 여러 공간매개변수 중 침투능과 관계가 깊은 대수층 깊이에 대해 가장 적합한 매개변수 값을 도출해 내는 것이 본 연구의 최종 목적이라고 할 수 있으며, 분석은 국내 자연하천 유역을 대상으로 분포형 유역 모형에 일반적인 수준으로 적용할수 있는 범위를 검토하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 분포형 유역 모형에서 하나의 매개변수인 대수층 깊이의 정량화에 기여되기를 바란다.

This study was aimed to investigate how students' relational thinking about equations could be formed by exploring web-based balance. The researchers developed 3 groups of 4 typed 12 equation problems of (a+b+c = d+ _ ) to test 24 4th graders. Pretest and post-test were conducted using Eye-tracker for investigating their eye movements. The researchers interviewed students who were not having distinct strategies to look into their cognitive process. As a result, we can conclude web-based balance helped students to get the concept of the equal sign and to form the relational thinking by the process of comparing both sides, right and left on the basis of fulcrum on balance.
