Infinity is very important concept in mathematics. In history of mathematics, potential infinity concept conflicts with actual infinity concept for a long time. It is reason that actual infinity concept causes difficulty in our perceptions. This phenomenon is called epistemological obstacle by Brousseau. So, in this paper, we examine the infinity in terms of mathematical didactics. First, we examine the history of development of infinity and reveal the similarity between the history of debate about infinity and episternological obstacle of students. Next, we investigate obstacle of students about infinity and the contents of curriculum which treat the infinity Finally, we suggest the methods for overcoming obstacle in learning of infinity concept.

Based on the framework of Huffered-Ackles, Fuson and Sherin(2004), data were analyzed in terms of 3 components: explaining(E), questioning(Q) and justifying(J) of students' mathematical concepts and problem solving in a math classroom. The students used varied presentations to explain and justify their mathematical concepts and ideas. They corrected their mathematical errors or misconceptions through discourses. In addition, they constructed and clarified their concepts and thinking while they were interacted. We were able to recognize there was a special feature in discourses that encouraged the students to construct and develop their mathematical concepts. As they participated in math class and received feedback on their learning, the whole class worked cooperatively in a positive way. Their discourse was improved from the level of the actual development to the level of the potential development and the pattern of interaction moved from ERE(Elicitaion-Response-Elaboration to PD(Proposition Discussion).

Knowledge and data interpretation on statistical estimation was important to have statistical literacy that current curriculum was said not to satisfy. The author investigated mathematics teachers' MKT on statistical estimation concerning interpretation of confidence interval by using questionnaire and interview. SMK of teachers' confidence was limited to the area of textbooks to be difficult to interpret data of real life context. Most of teachers wrongly understood SMK of interpretation of confidence interval to have influence upon PCK making correction of students' wrong concept. SMK of samples and sampling distribution that were basic concept of reliability and confidence interval cognized representation of samples rather exactly not to understand importance and value of not only variability but also size of the sample exactly, and not to cognize appropriateness and needs of each stage from sampling to confidence interval estimation to have great difficulty at proper teaching of statistical estimation. PCK that had teaching method had problem of a lot of misconception. MKT of sample and sampling distribution that interpreted confidence interval had almost no relation with teachers' experience to require opportunity for development of teacher professionalism. Therefore, teachers were asked to estimate statistic and to get confidence interval and to understand concept of the sample and think much of not only relationship of each concept but also validity of estimated values, and to have knowledge enough to interpret data of real life contexts, and to think and discuss students' concepts. So, textbooks should introduce actual concepts at real life context to make use of exact orthography and to let teachers be reeducated for development of professionalism.

In this study, I consider Brousseau's theory of didactical situation focused on 'the development process of situations', and analyze some examples of didactical situation related to instruction of 'decimal' concept. To elaborate situations which really make a mathematical notion function, we have to analyze the essence of the notion, and to construct the situation which can be developed to situations of 'action-formulation-validation - institutionalization'. From this view, it can be said that the instruction of decimal concept in our country mainly lies in the situations of 'action' and 'institutionalization'. we have to provide more situations of 'formulation' and 'institutionalization' which can connect 'action' and 'institutionalization'.

수학의 이론적 특성인 추상성은 학생들이 수학적 개념을 파악하는데 많은 어려움을 느끼게 하고 있다. 본 연구는 현실적 수학교육이론에 바탕을 둔 공학적 도구의 활용을 통한 수학적 모델링 학습이 수학적 개념을 파악하는데 유용한 수단이 되는가를 알아 보고자 한다. 이를 위해 중학교 1학년 함수 단원 중 함수의 뜻에 대하여 영재학생들을 대상으로 수학적 모델링 학습을 설계하고 실험 수업을 실시하였으며 사전 사후 수학적 태도 검사와 수학적 모델링의 유용성에 관한 설문조사 및 학습자 관찰기록을 실시하였다. 그 결과 학생들의 수학적 태도에 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 과학적 현상에 대한 지식이 수학의 개념을 이해하고 문제를 해결하는데 유용하다는 유의미한 인식의 변화가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 학생의 흥미를 자극하고 학습동기를 촉진하며 수학적 개념을 효과적이고 올바르게 형성하는데 유용하게 쓰여 질 수 있는 다양한 과학적 현상들에 대한 연구와 개발이 이뤄진다면 학생들의 개념학습에 좋은 효과가 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Traditionally, companies have been concerned with making an investment decision either to go now or never to go forever. However, owing to the development of the theory of options pricing in a financial investment field and its introduction to the appraisal of real investments in these days, we are now partially allowed to derive the value of a managerial flexibility of real investment projects. In this paper, we derived a general mathematical model to price the option value of real investment projects assuming that they have only one-period of time under which uncertainty exists. This mathematical model was developed based on the opportunity cost concept. We will show a simple numerical example to illustrate how the mathematical model works comparing it with the existing models.

For any thought and knowledge, its growth and development has close relation with the society where it is developed and grow. As Feuerbach says, the birth of spirit needs an existence of two human beings, i. e. the social background, as well as the birth of body does. But, at the educational viewpoint, the spread and the growth of such a thought or knowledge that influence favorably the development of a society must be also considered. We would discuss the goal and the function of mathematics education in relation with the prosperity of a technological civilization. But, the goal and the function are not unrelated with the spiritual culture which is basis of the technological civilization. Most societies of today can be called open democratic societies or societies which are at least standing such. The concept of rationality in such societies is a methodological principle which completes the democratic society. At the same time, it is asserted as an educational value concept which explains comprehensively the standpoint and the attitude of one who is educated in such a society. Especially, we can considered the cultivation of a mathematical thinking or a logical thinking in the goal of mathematics education as a concept which is included in such an educational value concept. The use of the concept of rationality depends on various viewpoints and criterions. We can analyze the concept of rationality at two aspects, one is the aspect of human behavior and the other is that of human belief or knowledge. Generally speaking, the rationality in human behavior means a problem solving power or a reasoning power as an instrument, i. e. the human economical cast of mind. But, the conceptual condition like this cannot include value concept. On the other hand, the rationality in human knowledge is related with the problem of rationality in human belief. For any statement which represents a certain sort of knowledge, its universal validity cannot be assured. The statements of value judgment which represent the philosophical knowledge cannot but relate to the argument on the rationality in human belief, because their finality do not easily turn out to be true or false. The positive statements in science also relate to the argument on the rationality in human belief, because there are no necessary relations between the proposition which states the all-pervasive rule and the proposition which is induced from the results of observation. Especially, the logical statement in logic or mathematics resolves itself into a question of the rationality in human belief after all, because all the logical proposition have their logical propriety in a certain deductive system which must start from some axioms, and the selection and construction of an axiomatic system cannot but depend on the belief of a man himself. Thus, we can conclude that a question of the rationality in knowledge or belief is a question of the rationality both in the content of belief or knowledge and in the process where one holds his own belief. And the rationality of both the content and the process is namely an deal form of a human ability and attitude in one's rational behavior. Considering the advancement of mathematical knowledge, we can say that mathematics is a good example which reflects such a human rationality, i. e. the human ability and attitude. By this property of mathematics itself, mathematics is deeply rooted as a good. subject which as needed in moulding the ability and attitude of a rational person who contributes to the development of the open democratic society he belongs to. But, it is needed to analyze the practicing and pursuing the rationality especially in mathematics education. Mathematics teacher must aim the rationality of process where the mathematical belief is maintained. In fact, there is no problem in the rationality of content as long the mathematics teacher does not draw mathematical conclusions without bases. But, in the mathematical activities he presents in his class, mathematics teacher must be able to show hem together with what even his own belief on the efficiency and propriety of mathematical activites can be altered and advanced by a new thinking or new experiences.

무한급수 개념은 학부의 전공 수학 교육과정의 중요한 주제이다. 여러 세기 동안 그것은 학습자에게 직관에 반대되는 장애를 제공했을 뿐만 아니라 해석학 연구의 중심적 역할을 해 왔다. 수학의 역사에서 무한급수 개념에 대한 이해가 미적분학 발달의 기초가 되었듯이 현재의 학생들에게 무한급수 개념에 대한 이해는 전공 수학을 학습하는 데 꼭 필요하다. 무한합의 개념을 가진 학생 대부분은 무한급수의 수렴 판정 같은 수학적 내용은 어려워하지 않으나 무한급수 개념을 부분합의 열을 이용해서 구성하는 것은 어려워한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 무한급수 개념을 구성하는 방법을 APOS 이론과 발생적 분해의 관점에서 부분합 스키마를 이용하여 분석하고자 한다. 질적 연구를 통해 급수 개념의 구성 방법을 점검해서 무한급수 지도 개선에 대한 유용한 교육적 시사점을 얻고자 한다.
