This Paper discusses the history of the conflicts between synthesis and analysis, from those in heuristic and logic development style in ancient Greek to those in projective geometric methods. The two methods, which originally displayed difference in heuristic, offer the base for the two fields of geometry, the analytic geometry and the synthetic geometry in the 18th century as they originated from the field of geometry. As to the 19th century, they even display antagonistic aspects derived by having other perspectives about the true nature of mathematic but finally lose the reason of conflict as the ancient times when the dialectical sublation of both had been proposed.

현재 각 대학의 사범대학에서는 저마다의 교과과정에 의하여 기하교육을 하고 있다. 해석학이나 대수학에 비하여 매우 다양하게 운영되고 있는 기하학 강좌 내용에 대하여 우선 몇 군데 대학에서의 기하학개론 및 미분기하학 강좌 내용을 비교하고, 교사 양성기관에서의 기하학 개론과 미분기하학 강좌에서 다루어야 할 필수 요소를 알아보고자 한다.

By comparing the development history of rectangular coordinate system in Cartography and Mathematics, we assert in this manuscript that the rectangular coordinate system is not so much related to analytic geometry but comes from the space perceiving ability inherent in human beings. We arrived at this conclusion by the followings: First, although the Cartography have much influenced to various area of Mathematics such as trigonometry, logarithm, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, and so on, which were developed or progressed around the advent of analytic geometry, the mathematical coordinate system itself had not been completely developed in using the origin or negative axis until 100 years and more had passed since Descartes' publication. Second, almost mathematicians who contributed to the invention of rectangular coordinate system had not focused their studying on rectangular coordinate system instead they used it freely on solving mathematical problem.

Euclid 기하학이 성립하는 공간은 우리들과 가장 밀접한 공간이다. Descartes의 해석기하학은 Euclid의 3차원공간에서 성립한다. 이 경우 점이라 해도 그것은 3개의 실수의 순서쌍(x, y, z)에 의해 표현되는 것으로 생각해도 좋다. 일반의 n차원 Euclid 공간 R$^n$에 대해서도 같은 생각으로 정의할 수 있다. 이 경우 n=1은 수치선, n=2는 평면, n=3은 소위 3차원의 공간으로서 직관적으로 상상할 수 있으나 n(equation omitted)4인 경우는 상상하기 어렵다. 여기서는 거리의 성질과 추상공간을 논하고 Euclid 공간의 거리에서 출발하여 그 성질중 삼각부등식을 계산을 통하여 증명하므로서 공간의 확장화가 이루워짐을 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze Descartes's point of view on the mathematical connection of algebra and geometry which help comprehend the traditional frame with a new perspective in order to access to unsolved problems and provide useful pedagogical implications in school mathematics. To achieve the goal, researchers have historically reviewed the fundamental principle and development method's feature of analytic geometry, which stands on the basis of mathematical connection between algebra and geometry. In addition we have considered the significance of geometric solving of equations in terms of analytic geometry by analyzing related preceding researches and modern trends of mathematics education curriculum. These efforts could allow us to have discussed on some opportunities to get insight about mathematical connection of algebra and geometry via geometric approaches for solving equations using the intersection of curves represented on coordinates plane. Furthermore, we could finally provide the method and its pedagogical implications for interpreting geometric approaches to cubic equations utilizing intersection of conic sections in the process of inquiring, solving and reflecting stages.

This paper investigate Descartes' , which is significant in the history of mathematics, from standpoint of problem-solving. Descartes has clarified the general principle of problem-solving. What is more important, he has found his own new method to solve confronting problem. It is said that those great achievements have exercised profound influence over following generation. Accordingly this article analyze Descartes' work focusing his method.

본 연구에서는 등분포하중을 받는 laminated 박판의 거동해석을 제시하였다. 접착한 두 박판의 비선형 지배방정식을 Von Karman 식을 이용하여 유도하고 박판의 거동을 차분법을 이용하여 수치해석 한다. Interlayer에서의 전단변형을 고려하여 지배방정식에 포함시켜 하중 증분법(load incremental method)으로 기하학 비선형 해석을 수행한다. 하중 증분법에 따른 반복법을 도입하여 비선형 방정식을 해석했다. 해석방법의 타당성을 입증하기 위하여 해석결과들을 기존의 문헌의 결과와 비교, 검토함으로써 본 논문에서 제시한 이론 및 해석방법의 타당성을 입증한다. 차분법의 하중 증분법 알고리즘을 개발하여 예제문제에 대한 수치해석 결과들을 논하였다.(중략)

고대부터 수의 존재론적 논의는 이어 왔으며 해석기하학의 발달로 수는 좌표상의 점으로 인식하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 '좌표상의 수는 존재하는 것인가', '어떻게 인식하여야 하는가'에 대한 고찰과 함께 좌표 위의 점 즉 수를 인식하는 자와 좌표 상의 수에 대한 상호 작용을 통한 인식을 제안 하고자 한다.

According to historical commentators such as Newton and Einstein, bodily behaviors are causally explained by the geometrical structure of space-time whose existence analogous to that of material substance. This essay challenges this conventional wisdom of interpreting space-time geometry within both Newtonian and Einsteinian physics. By tracing recent historical studies on the interpretation of space-time geometry, I defends that space-time structure is a by-product of a more fundamental fact, the laws of motion. From this perspective, I will argue that the causal properties of space-time cannot provide an adequate account of the theory-change from Newtoninan to Einsteinian physics.
