Numerical Calculations for dimensionless pressure drop (friction factor times Reynolds number) have been obtained for fully developed laminar flow of MPL(Modified Power Law) fluid in isosceles triangle pipes. The solutions are valid for Pseudoplastic fluids over a wide range from Newtonian behavior at low shear rates through transition region to power law behavior at higher shear rates. The analysis identified a dimensionless shear rate parameter which for a given set of operating conditions specifies where in the shear rate range a particular system is operating, i.e., Newtonian, transition or power law region. The numerical calculation data of the dimensionless pressure drop for the Newtonian and power law regions are compared with previously published asymptotic results presenting within 0.16 % in Newtonian region and 2.98 % in power law region.

본 연구에서는 삼각 요소망을 구성하는데 사용되는 기존의 Delaunay Triangulation 기법 외에 Advanced Front Technique 알고리즘을 적용하여 하천의 경계가 중요시되는 해석 모델에 적합한 삼각 요소망을 생성하고자 한다. Advanced Front Technique 알고리즘은 외부 경계를 따라 삼각 요소를 형성하기 시작하여 전체 해석 영역으로 요소를 채워가는 방법이다. 이 방법은 위에서 언급한 Delaunay Triangulation 기법의 단점인 해석 영역의 경계에서 요소의 형질이 좋지 못한 문제를 극복할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 미리 절점을 생성하지 않으므로 메모리를 절약하는 효과도 얻게 된다. Advanced Front Technique 알고리즘은 외부 경계의 노드(i)와 노드(i+1)을 Front로 하고, 이등변삼각형을 이루기 위해 해석 영역 내부의 적절한 위치에 새로운 절점(C)을 생성한다. 이렇게 Front와 새로운 절점(C)으로 이루어진 이등변 삼각형 요소가 생성된 후에, Front는 다음 Front로 전진하면서 점차 해석 영역의 내부로 삼각형 요소를 채우게 된다. 이와 같은 방법에 의해서 해석영역의 경계에서는 비교적 이등변 삼각형에 가까운 삼각 요소가 생성된다.

이 논문은 중학교 기하 영역의 수업에 대한 학생들의 성취도가 낮은 것을 관찰하고, 그에 대한 고민으로 교육과정을 분석하고, 수학교육의 질적 접근을 위한 교수 실험을 통해 실제 중학교 과정에서 운용되는 논증기하 교육의 문제점과 그 대안을 탐색하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 교사가 반드시 갖춰야 할 지식으로 Shulman(1986)이 제시한 교과 내용 지식과 교수학적 내용 지식, 그리고 교육과정 관련 지식을 받아들였으며, 중학교 기하 영역에서 이런 지식을 갖추기 위해 교사가 폭넓은 고민을 하여 수업의 개선점을 찾는 과정을 보여주고 있다. 연구를 통해서 학생들에게 명제를 지도할 때 주의할 점과 학습자에게 증명을 하도록 제시하는 방법상의 문제점, 그리고 이등변삼각형의 지도에서의 그 증명이 갖는 의미를 잘 이해하여 학생들에 증명 학습에 진정한 도움이 될 수 있는 방향을 탐색하였다. 그리고 절차만을 학습시키는 현행 작도 수업을 개선하기 위한 여러 시도와 등변사다리꼴의 학습에서와 같이 학생들이 수학 용어를 되돌아보는 수업이 필요성을 탐색하여, 많은 교수 실험을 통한 교육과정의 바람직한 개정을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the way of teaching the concept of pyramid in the elementary mathematics textbook and try to improve the problem. Although textbook present the general definition of pyramid as including regular pyramid, right pyramid, oblique pyramid, the textbook intentionally deal with right pyramid or regular pyramid. This intention reflect the intuition or familiarity of students. But, according to the analysis, this intention do not realized. The example of pyramid presented in the textbook do not coincide with mathematical definition and intuition of students. If we intend to deal with right pyramid in the textbook, we should treat of regular pyramid and right pyramid whose base is a rectangular in the textbook.

The purpose of the study is to identify the effect of length and right angle indication on the understanding of the concept of the figure when presenting the task of classifying the plane figures. we recorded thirty three 4th grade students' performance with eye-tracking technologies and analyzed the correct answer rate and gaze duration. The findings from the study were as follows. First, correctness rate increased and Gaze duration decreased by marking length in isosceles triangle and equilateral triangle. Second, correctness rate increased and Gaze duration decreased by marking right angle in acute angle triangle and obtuse triangle. Based on these results, it is necessary to focus on measuring the understanding of the concept of the figure rather than measuring the students' ability to measure by expressing the length and angle when presenting the task of classifying the plane figures.

Kameun temple was constructed in A.D. 682 after 46 year after Chumsungdae was constructed. This paper discusses the scientific implication of Taegeuk stone rods of Kameun temple site through the geometric analysis of their engraved figures. So we can estimate that the west Taegeuk of Kameun temple site has 2 circles comparing the path of the moon with that of the sun leading to the asymmetry in its emblem(Taegeuk) and the east Taegeuk of Kameun temple site has 1 circle representing the path of the sun. The Taegeuks along with around 30 equilateral triangles representing the north latitude $35.8^{\circ}$ give the explicit information of period of the orbit of the moon and the sun. These mathematical methods can explain some relics structure of antiquity with a few historical expounds.

A three-dimensional(3-D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies and mode shapes of thick, circular rings with isosceles trapezoidal and triangular cross-sections. Displacement components u/sub s/, u/sub z/, and u/sub θin the meridional, normal, and circumferential directions, respectively, are taken to be sinusoidal in time, periodic in θ, and algebraic polynomials in the ψ and z directions. Potential(strain) and kinetic energies of the circular ring are formulated, and upper bound values of the frequencies we obtained by minimizing the frequencies. As the degree of the polynomials is increased, frequencies converge to the exact values. Novel numerical results are presented for the circular rings with isosceles trapezoidal and equilateral triangular cross-sections having completely free boundaries. Convergence to four-digit exactitude is demonstrated for the first five frequencies of the rings. The method is applicable to thin rings, as well as thick and very thick ones.

In this study various angle trisection tools based on Archimedes' insertion method were investigated, some tools were fabricated and their characteristics were compared. Through these works, it was found that factors such as the convenience of use, arbitrariness of the trisected angle, and simplicity of structure should be considered in the production and utilization of the trisection tool. Considering the factors described above, attention was paid to the method proposed by Veprtskii A.I. in 1888 as a making method of the angle trisection tool. In this study, we improved the method proposed by Veprtskii A.I., we used two wooden chopsticks and a string to make an angle trisection tool. The improved trisection tool had fewer parts than other trisection tools, a simple structure, and more convenient usage. In particular, this tool divided an arbitrary angle(not a specific angle) into the same three parts, and the production cost was low and the production process was simple. This tool is expected to be widely used in concrete activities related to the properties of the exterior angles of triangles and the properties of isosceles triangles in mathematics classrooms.
