In order to improve the educational situation in which the natural number e and the natural logarithm are dealt with somewhat perfunctorily, this study explores the genetic process in which the natural logarithm and its base e occurred, and has an educational discussion based on that analysed process. Specifically, the study inquires into how the natural logarithm happened in relation to the quadrature of the hyperbolic curves through analysis and thought experimentation in mathematics history. Particularly, it sheds light on the role of e and the naturalness of the natural logarithm in terms of the introduction of the real number exponent. Also, this study discusses what the findings suggest educationally.

This study is on the introduction of the natural logarithm by the quadrature of the hyperbola. In School mathematics curriculum, Logarithm is introduced formally. But in that introduction, students could't know the meaning of the natural logarithm and e well. Historically, natural logarithm is related to the quadrature of the hyperbola. So in this study we consider the introduction of the natural logarithm by the means of quadrature of the hyperbola and the significance of the introduction.

정적분을 이용한 자연로그 학습은 구체적인 개념이미지 형성이 어려운 부분이 존재하기에 역동적인 프로그램을 이용하여 시각적 추론의 과정을 거치는 접근방법이 개념이미지를 형성하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 즉, 역동적인 프로그램 환경에서 학습하는 것은 학생들에게 수학적 개념을 구체적으로 인식하게 하는 유용한 교수 학습 방법이 될 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 전공학부 학생들이 역동적 프로그램이며 시각적 도구인 GeoGebra 환경에서 정적분을 이용한 자연로그 그래프를 이해하는 과정을 탐구하고 분석하여 그 특징을 알아보았다. 그 결과, GeoGebra 프로그램 환경을 바탕으로 학습하는 것은 학생들 스스로 오류를 수정하고 조작하는 활동을 행할 수 있어서 주어진 문제에 대한 해결과정을 직접 관찰 분석할 수 있다는 장점이 있다는 것을 알게 되었다. 또한, 역동적인 프로그램인 GeoGebra를 이용하는 것은 정적분을 이용한 자연로그 그래프를 보다 구체적으로 인식 이해 할 수 있고 개념이미지를 효과적으로 형성할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 역동적인 프로그램 환경을 활용하는 것은 단순한 암기 주입식 교육환경에서 경험할 수 없었던 실체적인 수학개념에 대하여 접근할 수 있는 기회를 제공한다는 교육적 시사점을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine high school second graders' understanding of the basic nature of logarithm, the major type of error they made about logarithmic function and the cause of such an error, and to seek ways to instruct it better. For that purpose, three research questions were posed: 1. Investigate how much high school students in their second year comprehend the nature of logarithm. 2. Analyze what type of error they make about logarithmic function. 3. Analyze the cause of their error according to the selected error models and how it could be taught more efficiently. The findings of this study were as below: First, the natural science students had a better understanding of the basic nature of logarithm than the academic students. What produced the widest gap between the two groups' understanding was applying the nature of logarithm to the given problems, and what caused the smallest gap was the definition of logarithm and the condition of base. Second, the academic students had a poorer understanding of the basic nature of logarithmic function graph and of applying the nature of logarithm to the given problems. Third, the natural science students didn't comprehend well the basic nature of logarithmic function graph, the nature of characteristics and mantissa. Fourth, for all the students from academic and natural science courses, the most common errors were caused by the poor understanding of theorem or nature of the ［E4] model. Fifth, the academic students made more frequent errors due to the unfamiliar signs of the ［El］ model, the imperfect understanding of theorem or nature of the ［E4］ model, and the technical part of the ［E6］ model. Sixth, the natural science students made more frequent errors because of the improper problem interpretation of the ［E2］ model and the logically improper inference of the ［E3］ model.

In this paper we establish some limsup results and a generalized uniform law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) for the increments of partial sums of a strictly stationary and linearly positive quadrant dependent (LPQD) sequence of random variables.

A trapdoor discrete logarithm group is a cryptographic primitive with many applications, and an algorithm that allows discrete logarithm problems to be solved faster using a pre-computed table increases the practicality of using this primitive. Currently, the distinguished point method and one extension to this algorithm are the only pre-computation aided discrete logarithm problem solving algorithms appearing in the related literature. This work investigates the possibility of adopting other pre-computation matrix structures that were originally designed for used with cryptanalytic time memory tradeoff algorithms to work as pre-computation aided discrete logarithm problem solving algorithms. We find that the classical Hellman matrix structure leads to an algorithm that has performance advantages over the two existing algorithms.

Let X, $X_1$, $X_2$, ... be i.i.d. random variables with zero means, variance one, and set $S_n\;=\;{\sum}^n_{i=1}\;X_i$, $n\;{\geq}\;1$. Gut and $Sp{\check{a}}taru$ [3] established the precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm and Li, Nguyen and Rosalsky [7] generalized their result under minimal conditions. If P($|S_n|\;{\geq}\;{\varepsilon}{\sqrt{2n\;{\log}\;{\log}\;n}}$) is replaced by E{$|S_n|/{\sqrt{n}}-{\varepsilon}{\sqrt{2\;{\log}\;{\log}\;n}$}+ in their results, the new one is called the moment version of precise asymptotics in the law of the iterated logarithm. We establish such a result for self-normalized sums, when X belongs to the domain of attraction of the normal law.

차수가 h인 다항식 ${\hbar}(x){\in}F_q[x]$에서, $x-s_1,\;x-s_2,\;{\cdots},\;x-s_n$에 의해 생성된 $\(F_q[x]/({\hbar(x))\)*$의 multiplicative subgroup의 크기를 결정하는 것은 대단히 중요한 과제이다. 여기서 $\{s_1,\;s_2,\;{\cdots},\;s_n\}{\sebseteq}F_q$이고 모든 i 에 대해서, ${\hbar}(x){\neq}0$이다. 지금까지 알려진 asymptotic lower bound는 $(rh)^{O(1)}\(2er+O(\frac{1}{r})\)^h$이며, 여기서 $r=\frac{n}{h}$이고 e(=2.718...)는 natural logarithm의 기저이다. 본 논문에서는, coding theory 문제와 연계해서 더 낳은 lower bound인 $(rh)^{O(1)}\(2er+{\frac{e}{2}}{\log}r-{\frac{e}{2}}{\log}{\frac{e}{2}}+O{(\frac{{\log}^2r}{r})}\)^h$를 증명하고자 한다. 여기서 log는natural logarithm을 나타내며, 또한 이방식의 제약점에 대해서도 논의한다.

In this study, the flexural fatigue performance of concrete beams made with 100% Coarse Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) and 100% Coarse Natural Aggregates (NA) were statistically commanded. For this purpose, the experimental fatigue test results of earlier researcher were investigated using two parameter Weibull distribution. The shape and scale parameters of Weibull distribution function was evaluated using seven numerical methods namely, Graphical method (GM), Least-Squares (LS) regression of Y on X, Least-Squares (LS) regression of X on Y, Empherical Method of Lysen (EML), Mean Standard Deviation Method (MSDM), Energy Pattern Factor Method (EPFM) and Method of Moments (MOM). The average of Weibull parameters was used to incorporate survival probability into stress (S)-fatigue life (N) relationships. Based on the Weibull theory, as single and double logarithm fatigue equations for RCA and NA under different survival probability were provided. The results revealed that, by considering 0.9 level survival probability, the theoretical stress level corresponding to a fatigue failure number equal to one million cycle, decreases by 8.77% (calculated using single-logarithm fatigue equation) and 6.62% (calculated using double logarithm fatigue equation) in RCA when compared to NA concrete.
