Fractal geometry, a relatively new branch of mathematics, was first introduced by Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975. Since then, its applications have expanded into various fields of natural science. In fact, it has been recognized as one of the three significant scientific discoveries of the mid-20th century, along with the Dissipative System and Chaos Theory. With the help of fractal geometry, designers can create intricate and expressive artistic patterns, using the concept of self-similarity found in nature. The impact of fractal geometry on the digital art world is significant and its exploration could lead to new avenues for creativity and expression. This paper aims to explore and analyze the development and applications of fractal geometry in digital art design. It also aims to showcase the benefits of applying fractal geometry in art creation and paves the way for future research on sacred geometry.

Engineering structures usually suffer from cracks. The crack geometry has an influence on the structural mechanical properties and subsequent crack propagations. However, as an extensively utilized method in fracture analysis, the extended finite element method provided by Abaqus fails to output the specific location and dimensions of fractures. In this study, a technique to capture the crack geometry is proposed. The technique is based on the invariant level set method (I-LSM), which can avoid updating the level set function during crack development. The solution is achieved by an open-source plug-in programmed by Python. Three examples were performed to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the program. The result shows that the developed program can accurately output the crack geometry in both the 2D and 3D models. The open-source plug-in codes are included as supplementary material.

본 논문은 중학교 평면 논증기하를 원론 교육적 입장에서 분석 고찰한 것이다. 이를 위하여 먼저 'Euclid 원론'에 따른 고전적 원론 교육을 목적, 내용, 방법의 측면에서 분석하고 그 역사를 개관하였다. 이어 고전적 원론 교육에 대한 비판적 논의를 고찰하고 Clairaut의 '기하학 원론'과 Branford의 역사-발생적 기하 교육론을 중심으로 역사-발생적 기하 원론 교육을 목적, 내용, 방법의 측면에서 분석하였다. 그리고 이러한 분석과 근세 이후 기하교과서의 변천과정에 비추어 현재의 중학교 논증기하 교재의 기본가정을 분석하고, 그 내용 및 체제를 가설적 작도, 정리의 제시순서, 증명진술 방법, 정의제시 방법, 연습문제로 나누어 분석하였다. 마지막으로 이러한 논의를 바탕으로, 현 중학교 기하교재의 기본적 관점을 탐색하고 두 원론의 상보적 통합 방안을 모색하였다.

In this paper, we introduce new functional definitions for school geometry based on DGS (dynamic geometry system) teaching-learning environment. For the vertices forming a geometric figure, we first consider the relationship between the independent vertices and dependent vertices, and using this relationship and educational considerations in DGS, we introduce functional definitions for the geometric figures in terms of its independent vertices. For this purpose, we design a new DGS called JavaMAL MicroWorld. Based on the needs of new definitions in DGS environment for the student's construction activities in learning geometry, we also design a new DGS based geometry curriculum in which the definitions of the school geometry are newly defined and reconnected in a new way. Using these funct onal definitions, we have taught the new geometry contents emphasizing the sequential expressions for the student's geometric activities.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of dynamic software in solving high school analytic geometry problems compared with traditional algebraic approach. Three high school students who have revealed high performance in mathematics were involved in this study. It was considered that they mastered the basic concepts of equations of plane figure and curves of secondary degree. The research questions for the study were the followings: 1) In what degree students understand relationship between geometric approach and algebraic approach in solving geometry problems? 2) What are the difficulties students encounter in the process of using the dynamic software? 3) In what degree the constructions of geometric figures help students to understand the mathematical concepts? 4) What are the effects of dynamic software in constructing analytic geometry concepts? 5) In what degree students have developed the images of algebraic concepts? According to the results of the study, it was revealed that mathematical connections between geometric approach and algebraic approach was complementary. And the students revealed more rely on the algebraic expression over geometric figures in the process of solving geometry problems. The conceptual images of algebraic expression were not developed fully, and they blamed it upon the current college entrance examination system.

The increased awareness of electromagnetic wave hazards has prompted studies on electromagnetic shielding using conductive materials in the construction industry. Previous studies have explored the effects of the types of conductive materials and their mix proportions on the electromagnetic shielding performance; however, there has been insufficient research on the effect of the geometry of the conductive materials on the electromagnetic shielding performance. Therefore, in this study, the dependence of the electromagnetic shielding performance on the cross-sectional geometry, diameter and length of fibers was investigated. The results showed that the electromagnetic shielding performance improved when the fiber length increased or the diameter decreased, but the effect of the cross-sectional geometry of the fibers was smaller than the effect of the fiber spacing factor.

The purpose of this study is to create an interactive tool Geometry Player for geometric explorations. In designing this software, we referred to van Hiele's geometric learning theory of and Duval's cognitive comprehension theory of geometric figures. With Geometry Player, it is easy to construct and manipulate dynamic geometric figures. Teachers can easily present the dynamic process of geometric figures in class, and students can use it as a leaning tool to construct geometric concepts by themselves. It is hoped that Geometry Player can be a useful assistant for teachers and a nice partner for students. A brief introduction to Geometry Player and some application examples are included in this paper.

This study aims to analyze Pardies' ${\ll}$Elements of geometry${\gg}$. This book is very interesting from the perspectives of mathematical history as well as of mathematical education. Because it was used for teaching Kangxi emperor geometry in the Qing Dynasty in China instead of Euclid's which was considered as too difficult to study geometry. It is expected that this book suggests historical and educational implications because it appeared in the context of instruction of geometry in the seventeenth century of mathematical history. This study includes the analyses on the contents of Pardies' ${\ll}$Elements of geometry${\gg}$, the author's advice for geometry learning, several geometrical features, and some features from the view of elementary school mathematics, of which the latter two contain the comparisons with other authors' as well as school mathematics. Moreover, some didactical implications were induced based on the results of the study.

Matsumoto Makoto is regarded as founding father of the Japanese school of Finsler geometry because he established the Japanese Society of Finsler Geometry in 1968 and organized the Symposium every year since then. In this paper, we investigate how Matsumoto initiated the study of this topic leaping over geographical limit and how Yano Kentaro and Kawaguchi Akitsugu had affected Matsumoto in the formation of the Japanese school of Finsler geometry. We also take a view of the role of É. Cartan who invented the concept of the connection in early 20th century in this regard.
