Computer is a modern day invention integrated with mathematics, engineering, and logics. The purpose of this study is to examine mathematicians' roles and influences on the invention, establishment, and developments of computers, particularly in the areas of hardware and software, and to emphasize the importance of mathematics on the computer sciences. To implement these purposes, this study firstly examines the mathematicians based on the period. Secondly from the mathematicians' roles in the development of programming, the correlation between mathematics and computers has been investigated. Finally, mathematicians who gave influence on establishing the current development of computer science are highlighted.

It is well known that a lot of mathematical theories of many famous mathematicians had scholarly effects on Isaac Newton. Nonetheless, his private internal view or attitude to natural philosophy is not so much known. In this paper we will approach him via his famous book Principia an physics and mathematics, considering the influences acted on him by mathematicians in the history of mathematics.

20세기 초에 발생하였던 제1, 2차 세계대전들은 유럽 사회뿐만 아니라, 수학계에도 지대한 손실을 끼쳤다. 1차 세계대전 이후 프랑스를 중심으로 탄생되었던 국제 수학연맹(IMU)은 정치적으로 이용되었던 이유로 해체되어졌고, 제 2차 세계대전이 발생함에 따라 모든 국제 학회모임은 중단되었다. 독일에 나치정권이 들어선 후, 많은 뛰어난 수학자들이 수용소에서 죽음을 맞거나 미국으로 이주하면서 학문의 중심은 유럽에서 미국으로 이동하였다. 전쟁이 끝난 후 심각한 정치 경제 위기에 처한 유럽의 학자들은 수학계를 대변할 능력을 잃었다. 이에 국제적인 의무감을 갖게 된 미국의 스톤(Stone)을 비롯한 수학자들은 정치에 상관없이 모든 나라가 가입할 수 있는 새 IMU를 탄생시킨다. 이 논문은 제2차 세계대전 이후에 IMU의 재탄생 과정과 1950년도의 ICM에서 일어난 일들을 면밀히 알아봄으로써 20세기 중반의 수학계의 발전상을 연구하고자 한다.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a teaching method which is focused on the mathematical thinking skills such as the use of induction, counter example, analogy, and so on mathematicians use when they explore their research fields. Many have indicated that students have learned mathematics exploring to use very different methods mathematicians have done and suggested students explore as they do. In the first part of the paper, the plausible whole processes from the beginning time they get a rough idea to a refined mathematical truth. In the second part, an example with Euler characteristic of 1. In the third, explaining the same processes with ${\pi}$, a model modified from the processes is designed. It is hoped that the suggested model, focused on a variety of mathematical thinking, helps students learn mathematics with understanding and with the association of exploring entertainment.

Japanese mathematics, namely Wasan, was well-developed before the Meiji period. Takebe Katahiro (1664-1739) and Nakane Genkei (1662-1733), among a great number of mathematicians in Wasan, maybe the most famous ones. Taking Takebe and Nakane's indefinite problems as examples, the similarities and differences are made between Wasan and Chinese mathematics. According to investigating the sources and attitudes to these problems which both Japanese and Chinese mathematicians dealt with, the paper tries to show how and why Japanese mathematicians accepted Chinese tradition and beyond. As a typical sample of the succession of Chinese tradition, Wasan will help people to understand the real meaning of Chinese tradition deeper.

In school mathematics, the logarithmic function is defined as the inverse function of an exponential function. And the natural logarithm is defined by the integral of the fractional function 1/x. But historically, Napier had already used the concept of logarithm in 1614 before the use of exponential function or integral. The calculation of the logarithm was a hard work. So mathematicians with arithmetic ability made the tables of values of logarithms and people used the tables for the estimation of data. In this paper, we first take a look at the mathematicians and mathematical principles related to the appearance and the developments of the logarithmic tables. And then we deal with the confusions between mathematicians, raised by the estimation data which were known as proportional parts or mean differences in common logarithmic tables.

Students not only learn mathematics knowledge, but also have the capability of mathematical creativity. The latter has been thought an important task in mathematics education by more and more mathematicians and mathematics educators. In this paper, mathematicians' methods of creating mathematics are presented. Then, the paper elaborates on how these methods can be utilized to enhance mathematical creativity in the schools.

This paper is a sequel to [26]. We investigate how the Axiom of Choice has been accepted after Zermelo introduced the Axiom in 1904. The response to the Axiom has divided into two groups of mathematicians, namely idealists and empiricists. We also investigate how the Zorn's lemma (1935) has been emerged. It was originally formulated by Hausdorff in 1909 and then by many other mathematicians independently.
