Yim Eon Kook was deeply involved in founding Chijongcheong(national tumor medical clinic), a government branch in charge of treating tumors mid-Chosun dynasty. He came to be famous nationwide for curing tumors well and when the royal family was notified of this, they founded the Chijongcheong to supply professional health care. He wrote books on treating tumors such as "chijongjinam" and contributed significantly to the advancement of the tumor treating during his times. He also influenced the development and advancement of tumor-related treatments in late-Chosun as well.

This study starts with dividing the history of mathematics education of China into four periods; Experimentation Period(the 1st period, from 1949 to 1965), Stagnancy Period(the 2nd period, from 1966 to 1976). Adjustment Period(the 3rd period, from 1977 to 1999) and Development Period(the 4th period, since 2000 ~) Through periodical classification, several causes and characteristics in mathematics education of each period are identified. And from that, this study draws implications for Korea mathematics education.

Traditional Knowledge[TK] is a concept which summings up all the knowledge of traditionally inherited, includes traditional medicine, therapy, food and environments. Such traditional knowledge has been perished and neglected through industrial development. We, Korean Institute of Oriental Medicine, promotes digitalization of this traditional knowledge to support and maximize its application, principally in Traditional korean medicine. We can get opportunity of reorganize the traditional knowledge to more practical and available form by this project. And also we introduce briefly its meaning and worth, and seek for application to the study of medical history.

Obviously the speed of dissemination of new, modern ideas in Jiangnan was closely related to the development of transportation. Looking back at the history, the backwardness of transportation in the early modern Jiangnan restrict the dissemination of new ideas in this region and then the situation changed a lot since the 1890s, when the spatial distance between Shanghai and Jiangnan was remarkably shortened, the dissemination of new ideas was accelerated, and the new ideas in return significantly influenced the Jiangnan society. It was the constantly improved transportation that facilitated the diversification of channels disseminating information and made the dissemination itself faster. As a consequence, the new ideas, knowledge, and things were rapidly disseminated and popularized in Jiangnan, thereby giving impetus to the social changes in this region.

The cycloid curve had been studied by many mathematicians in the period from the 16th century to the 18th century. The results of those studies played important roles in the birth and development of Analytic Geometry, Calculus, and Variational Calculus. In this period mathematicians frequently used the cycloid as an example to apply when they presented their new mathematical methods and ideas. This paper overviews the history of mathematics on the cycloid curve and presents proofs of its important properties.

Among five types of the model textbook based on storytelling, the type of 'Inquiry into history of Mathematics' focuses on adapting the logic of mathematical discovery to the organization of mathematical contents. It enables students to recognize that mathematics has been developed by human needs and creativity while they are engaged in the story about knowledge formation. Moreover the textbook offers the context in which students are able to understand mathematical insights and logics hidden in the subject matter, so that they can reinvent and develop mathematical knowledge. In this study, we found the principles for development of the textbook based on storytelling for 'Inquiry into History of Mathematics' by analyzing the chapter about 'Complex number and Quadratic Equations' of the model textbook. The chapter was implemented in classroom environment and students' understanding of the subject matter and their perception on the textbook based on storytelling were surveyed before and after the implementation. The results showed the possibilities of adapting the textbook based on storytelling and we suggested some implications for further development.

Objectives: Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy (FCST) is a rather new physiologic therapeutics. It has passed about two decades since its basic idea was founded. This study briefly reviewed its early history. Methods: The first FCST patient was a stroke patient in the year 1992. Basic ideas of FCST was devised one by one and later developed into a systematic clinical application. The first official lecture was held in the year 2004. Yinyang balance in the meridian-system-based network over the whole body was a mainstay idea. Results: As other stories on newly-developed therapeutics, there was an effort to make a breakthrough for difficult clinical problems, and followed by a creative initial idea along with incessant refinement in the early history of FCST. Conclusions: Patient-centered approaches was a mainspring in the development and refinement of FCST. History of FCST hereafter may well follow the trace.

In the Analysis, there have been many cases of confusion on topological structure and uniform structure because they were dealt in metric spaces. The concept of metric spaces is generalized into that of topological spaces but its uniform aspect was much later generalized into the uniform structure by A. Weil. We first investigate Weil's life and his mathematical achievement and then study the history of the uniform structure and its development.

Although indeterminate equations were dealt in Jiu zhang suan shu and then in Sun zi suan fing and Zhang Giu Jian suan Jing in China, they did not get any substantial development until Qin Jiu Shao introduced da yan shu in his great book Shu shu jiu zhang which solves goneral systems of linear congruences. We first investigate his da yan shu and then study the history of indeterminate equations in Chosun Dynasty. Further, we compare Qin's da yan shu with that in San Hak Jung Eui written by Chosun mathematician Nam Byung Gil.

Tough Korean architecture and urban environment has been developed for almost 100 years, it still remains various kinds of problems. Many attempts was carried out by every new plan to reduce the problems, it result in requiring more investment than before. It means all the investment for the development has been inefficient and immature to protect economic problems compared with the developed country. For the reason of economic problems it must be studied in historical cases which influenced the economic impacts, before the proposal of index with the economic theory. Searching typical architecture or urban development that brought about economic impacts can be classified into 3 cases. First case is the impact that caused the economic growth, increase, boom like the Westminster & others and the american architectures after the economic crisis. Second case is the impacts that was the origin of decline, shrink in economic as the Palace of Versailles, the skyscrape buildings in america before the economic crisis. Third case is the impact that was the both role of increase and decline in economic as the modern architecture in industrial revolution which led to the national economic growth and the gap between the rich and the poor, and as the american architecture that was the root of crisis and the revival in economic. From the case study, it is clear that architecture has relation with economics in various factors as mass production, labour, and another industries all over the history & the world. Now, architecture strongly needed not only to raise functional, cultural effect and value, but to predict and control the economic impacts with theory from further research of historical cases to policy and practise.
