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.

이 논문에서는, 대학수학의 기초학력 및 기본 소양교육이 부족한 대학 1학년 신입생들에 대하여 학사지도 및 진로지도를 통하여 대학 미분적분학 교육을 효율적으로 이끌어 갈 수 있는 방안에 대하여 연구하고자 한다.

In this study, we introduced the case of college calculus course for vocational high school graduates with coding. We suggest this case as an alternative to overcome mathematics anxiety. Contents, python/SageMath codes, and textbook for this course, which help students to easily and quickly review middle and high school mathematics, were newly developed by authors. Due to the use of codes and chat with classmates in learning management system, most of the students who took this course reported that they no longer felt anxious in complex mathematics problems, had a full understanding of calculus concepts, could solve almost problems in any calculus textbooks with or without codes, and could explain calculus concepts to other students in their own words. In this way if mathematics and coding is properly used in mathematics education, it helps students with weak mathematical backgrounds or mathematics anxiety to restore confidence in mathematics in college. This could be applicable in secondary mathematics education.

In the natural science or engineering science, a calculus is an obligatory subject. So there are many classes in the university every year. Commonly professors manage the course individually. Many classes in a row individually got into trouble about lecture, test and assessment and so on. To solve the above problems, alternatively we introduced the concept of joint control. We used the joint syllabus, test and assessment. In this paper, we found the necessities and effects of joint control in a calculus.

In this paper, we present a practical and essential method of using team projects for calculus. We, specifically, take into account the team project that calculate the volume of lung represented on CT scan images. We have demonstrated that the process of analyzing the images in a team project encourage studying numerical methods of integration for calculus. Also, we have used various technological programs(MATLAB, MATHEMATICA, MS Excel) to solve the team project.

Renaissance is revival of the ancient Greek and Roman cultures. So, in Renaissance period, the artists began to study Euclidean geometry and then their mind was a spirit of experience and observation. These spirits is namely modernism. In other words, Renaissance was a dawn of modern times. In this paper, we notice modern spirits and ones social backgrounds. Differential and integral calculus was created by these modern spirits. And in art field, 'painter of light', 'artist of moment' appeared. Because in the 17th and 18th centuries, the intelligentsia researched for motions, speeds and lights.

오늘날 우리의 교육은 교육과정에 나와 있는 내용의 구성에 대해서는 어떤 부분을 강조해야 하는가? 그리고 왜 강조해야 하는가?에 대해서 학생들에게 잘 전달하지 않은 채, 어려운 공식 ${\cdot}$ 원리 ${\cdot}$ 법칙 등의 유도와 문제풀이 등으로 인해 학생들은 점점 수학에 대해 흥미를 잃고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현행 고등학교 수학에서의 미분과 적분 단원의 내용 구성에 있어서 문제점을 살펴보고, 수학 학습이 학습자에게 좀더 의미 있는 활동이 되도록 미분과 적분 단원의 내용에 대한 바람직한 지도계열에 대해서 살펴보고, 지도시 특히 강조해야 할 점들을 대학수학에서의 이론적 배경을 토대로 살펴본다.

본 논문은 고등학교 제7차 교육과정 중 수학 I 과 미분적분학에서 나오는 적분 단원의 교수 학습을 위해 Visual Basic을 사용하여 제작한 프로그램의 설계과정과 그 기능을 기술하였다. 먼저, 적분의 개념을 이끌어 내기 위한 도구인 “구분구적법”의 설명을 위해 원을 포함하는 사각형과 원에 포함된 사각형들의 개수와 면적에 대해 원을 나누는 사각형의 한 변의 길이를 조절해감으로서 원의 실제 면적에 접근해 가는 과정을 보여줄 수 있으며, 또한 “정적분”, “넓이”, “두 곡선 사이의 넓이”를 구하는 프로그램을 이용하여 학생들이 각각의 개념을 프로그램을 실행하며 시각적으로 확인할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 이 프로그램은 일선 학교에서 구분구적법과 적분, 넓이의 개념을 시각적으로 이해할 수 있는 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

We carried out mathematics diagnostic tests for all first year engineering students at C University in Daejeon in 2008, covering precalculus and basic calculus. Then we divided into two classes such as regular and supplementary classes. The supplementary class students are lower 13% students. Then we gave extra classes for these students to support their basic and elementary calculus skills. As a result, these supplementary students received a meaningful accomplishment at the final exam. This paper analyzes the results and effects of various types of supplementary classes such as education by level, and proposes some strategies to enhance mathematics learning, particularly for under achieving first year engineering students.

Recently, with the development of technology, intuitive understanding of abstract mathematical concepts through visualizations is growing in popularity within college mathematics. In this study, we introduce free visualization tools developed for better understanding of topics which students learn in Calculus. We visualize important concepts of Calculus as much as we can according to the order of most Calculus textbooks. In this process, we utilized a well-known, free mathematical software called GeoGebra. Finally, we discuss our experience with visualizations in Calculus using GeoGebra in our class and discuss how it can be effectively adopted to other university math classes and high school math education.
