In this study, we investigated the application of oriental history of mathematics in school mathematics teaching. We set up three study problems to achieve this purpose. First, we analyze the middle and high school mathematics textbooks and auxiliary books. Second, we survey the mathematics teacher's knowledge and degree of application on history of mathematics. Third, we develop the teaching and learning materials on oriental history of mathematics. We performed three study-methods to settle above study problem. First, we analyzed 24 textbooks and auxiliary books for study problem 1. There were 6 middle school mathematics textbooks and 6 auxiliary books and also 6 high school mathematics textbooks and 6 auxiliary books. We categorized the contents into "anecdote", "systematization", "application of problem", "expansibility of thought", and "comparative of the contents". Second, we surveyed the 78 mathematics teachers's knowledge and degree of application using questionnaire about knowledge and application on history of mathematics. The questionnaire was made up of four types of question; the effect of material about history of mathematics, the understanding of western history of mathematics, the understanding of oriental history of mathematics; the direction of development of teaching material. Third, we exemplified the teaching and learning materials about three categories: "anecdote", "comparative of the contents".

In this paper, I will divide the history of mathematics into four development stages. These are based on significant developments of mathematical concepts or the creation of new fields of mathematics. Then, I will survey the history stages through a study of the characteristic method of research and the most important concepts from each period.

본 연구는 자연수 개념이 역사적으로 전개된 방식을 이해하는 것이 수학적$\cdot$ 교육적으로 매우 중요함에도 불구하고, 그 역사적 고찰이 미진한 상태에 있다는 데에 문제 의식을 갖고 출발하였다. 그리하여 자연수 개념이 역사적으로 어떻게 논의되어 왔는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 수학의 발달 과정에서 수가 어떤 의미를 지녔는지, 문화적$\cdot$사회적 요소가 수 개념을 이해하는 방식과 수 개념의 발달에 어떤 영향을 주었는지 밝힘으로써 자연수 개념에 대한 이해를 풍부하게 하고자 하였다. 그리고 자연수 개념의 역사에 나타난 특징을 드러내고자 하였다.

We divide the timeline of the history of Finsler geometry, which dates back to Riemann's inaugural lecture in 1854, into three periods (hibernation, hiatus, rebirth) and we study formation of Romanian Finsler school around Iasi, Romania during the hiatus period. We look for the history centered around Radu Miron who is a third generation geometer of Iasi University and the mathematical heritage there through five generations. We also investigate mathematical impact of T. Levi-Civita, D. Hilbert, ${\acute{E}}$ Cartan who are considered as top mathematicians at their time.

수학사탐구형 스토리텔링 교과서는 수학의 발달 과정에서 드러나는 발견의 논리를 교과서의 구성 원리와 내용 전개에 적용하는 것을 핵심으로 한다. 지식이 만들어져 가는 과정에 학생들이 흥미롭게 접근하도록 하여 수학이 인간의 필요에 의해 만들어진 지식이며, 인간의 창의적 사고로 인해 만들어지는 지식임을 인식하도록 할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 학습 내용 이면에 숨어있는 수학적 통찰과 논리를 이해할 수 있게 하고 그것을 활용하여 새로운 수학적 지식을 만들어갈 수 있는 맥락을 제공할 수 있다. 본 연구는 수학사탐구형으로 개발된 '복소수와 이차방정식'단원의 개발 절차와 사례를 통해 스토리텔링 수학교과서의 가능성을 확인하고, 현장적용 가능성을 탐색하며 앞으로의 스토리텔링 교과서 개발에 있어 함의점을 제공한다.

In this paper, we classify the mathematical terms in Korean Standard Unabridged Dictionary into four groups; ① group 1 consists of the terms which coincide with the mathematical terms in the 2015 Editing Material, ② group 2 consists of the terms which are synonyms or old terms or inflection forms of the mathematical terms in the Editing Material, ③ group 3 consists of the terms which do not belong to group 1 or group 2, but relate to the elementary or secondary school mathematics, ④ group 4 consists of the terms which do not relate to the elementary or secondary school mathematics. And then we make a comparative study with the mathematical terms in the Editing Material. In this study, we find out the mathematical terms in the Editing Material, but not in Korean Standard Unabridged Dictionary. And by using synonyms and old terms of the mathematical terms in the Editing Material we guess the rough tendency which terms belong to the Editing Material. By investigating the terms in group 3 and 4, we find out the mathematical terms which may belong to the Editing Material. We also find out the wrong or inconsistent explanations in Korean Standard Unabridged Dictionary.

수학의 유용성을 더욱 강화하기 위해 수학사를 수학 교육에 도입하는 것에 관한 관심이 근래에 더욱 고조되고 있는 추세이다. 수학사가 학교 수학에 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 것은 수학사를 어떠한 측면으로 학교 수학에 가져올 것인가에 대한 통찰력을 제공할 것이다. 이를 위하여 학교 수학에서 수학사의 역할을 크게 인지적, 정의적, 사회문화적 측면에 입각하여 학생의 사고 발달과 학생의 이해 측면 그리고 학습 태도 발달과 동기 부여 마지막으로 인간적ㆍ사회문화적 경험에 미치는 영향력과 타당성을 제시함으로써 수학사가 수학 교육의 정규 커리큘럼이 되어야 하는 근거를 제시하고자 했다. 또한 우리에게 산적된 문제들, 이를테면 교수학적 접근이나 수학사적 주제들의 체제적, 구조적 접근 등도 함께 살펴 보았다.

When imaginary numbers were first encountered in the 16th century, mathematicians were able to calculate the imaginary numbers the same as they are today. However, it required 200 years to mathematically acknowledge the existence of imaginary numbers. The new mathematical situation that arose with a development in mathematics required a harmony of real numbers and imaginary numbers. As a result, the concept of complex number became clear. A history behind the development of complex numbers involved a process of determining a comprehensive perspective that ties real numbers and imaginary numbers in a single category, complex numbers. This came after a resolution of conflict between real numbers and imaginary numbers. This study identified the new perspective and way of mathematical thinking emerging from resolving the conflicts. Also educational implications of the analysis were discussed.

Presently, there has been growing interests in using mathematics' history in teaching mathematics [Katz, V. & Tzanakis, C. (Eds.) (2011). Recent Developments on Introducing a Historical Dimension in Mathematics Education. Washington, DC: Mathematical Association of America]. Thus, this article introduces some work of scholars from ancient East Indian culture like Bhaskara (AD 1114-1185) and Arabic culture such as Ibn Qurrah (AD 9th c) that are related to Pythagoras Theorem. In addition, some Babylonian creative works related to Pythagorean triples found in a tablet known as 'Plimpton 322', and an application of the Pythagorean Theorem found in another tablet named 'Yale Tablet' are presented. Applications of computer animation of dissection Motion Operations concept in 2D and 3D using dynamic software like Geometer's-Sketchpad and Cabri-II-and-3D. Nowadays, creative minds are attracted by the recent stampede in the advances of technological applications in visual literacy; consequently, innovative environments that would help young students, gifted or not, acquiring meaningful conceptual understanding would immerge.
