In China and Joseon, the measurement of the areas of various plane figures is a very important subject for mathematical officials because it is connected directly with tax problems. Most of mathematical texts in China and Joseon contained Chinese character '田', which means a field for farming, in title name for parts that dealt with problems of areas and treated as areas of plane figures. The form of mathematical texts in Joseon is identical with those in China because mathematicians in Joseon referred to texts in China. Gyeong SeonJing and Hong JeongHa also referred to Chinese texts. But they added their interpretations or investigated new methods for the measurement of areas. In this paper, we investigate the history of the measurement of areas in Joseon, which described in two books MukSaJibSanBeob and GuIlJib, with comparing some mathematical texts in China.

In learning mathematics, if you know how much mathematics is related to real life, you can understand mathematics much more easily. So, in many cases, practical instances are used in exercises. This is the way that has been used in mathematical texts since ancient times. From this perspective, these practical problems enable to reflect the very contemporary lives of those who learn mathematics. In this paper, types of contents of the exercises in mathematical texts of Joseon Dynasty are investigated, so that it may be possible to imagine the life in Joseon dynasty.
