Let k be an imaginary quadratic field, η the complex upper half plane, and let $\tau$ $\in$ η $textsc{k}$, p = $e^{{\pi}i{\tau}}$. In this article, using the infinite product formulas for g2 and g3, we prove that values of certain infinite products are transcendental whenever $\tau$ are imaginary quadratic. And we derive analogous results of Berndt-Chan-Zhang ([4]). Also we find the values of (equation omitted) when we know j($\tau$). And we construct an elliptic curve E : $y^2$ = $x^3$ ＋ 3 $x^2$ ＋ {3-(j/256)}x ＋ 1 with j = j($\tau$) $\neq$ 0 and P = (equation omitted) $\in$ E.

In this study, we investigate the latus rectum, one of the geometric measures of the conics, as one of the ways in which learners harmonize the geometric and algebraic approaches to conics from a pedagogical point of view. We also introduce the conical curve of Biot as presented in 'The Discourse on the Latus Rectum in conics(2013)' by Takeshi Sugimoto and reinterpret it for visualization and use as teaching material. Therefore, we expect that the importance of mathematical concepts will be recognized in conics and students can experience geometry learning that is explored in the school field and have a positive effect in developing the power to apply even in the context of applied problems.

Geometric shape morphing is an interesting geometric operation that interpolates two geometric shapes to generate in-betweens. It is well known that Minkowski operations can be used to test and build collision-free motion paths and to modify shapes in digital image processing. In this paper, we present a new geometric modeling technique to control the morphing on geometric shapes based on Minkowski sum. The basic idea develops from the linear interpolation on two geometric shapes where the traditional algebraic sum is replaced by Minkowski sum. We extend this scheme into a Bezier-like control structure with multiple control shapes, which enables the interactive control over the intermediate shapes during the morphing sequence as in the traditional CAGD curve/surface editing. Moreover, we apply the theory of blossoming to our control structure, whereby our control structure becomes even more flexible and general. In this paper, we present mathematical models of control structure, their properties, and computational issues with examples.

In this paper, numerical solution of the singular integral equation for the multiple curved branch-cracks is investigated. If some quadrature rule is used, one difficult point in the problem is to balance the number of unknowns and equations in the solution. This difficult point was overcome by taking the following steps: (a) to place a point dislocation at the intersecting point of branches, (b) to use the curve length method to covert the integral on the curve to an integral on the real axis, (c) to use the semi-open quadrature rule in the integration. After taking these steps, the number of the unknowns is equal to the number of the resulting algebraic equations. This is a particular advantage of the suggested method. In addition, accurate results for the stress intensity factors (SIFs) at crack tips have been found in a numerical example. Finally, several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the method presented.

This study was carried out to provide basic data for logical forest management by developing a site index curve reflecting the current growth characteristics of Cryptomeria japonica stands in Korea. The height growth model was developed using the Chapman-Richards, Schumacher, Gompertz, and Weibull algebraic difference equations, which are widely used in growth estimation, for data collected from 119 plots through the 7th National Forest Inventory and stand survey. The Chapman-Richards equation, with the highest model fit, was selected as the best equation for the height growth model, and a site index curve was developed using the guide curve method. To compare the developed site index curve with that on the yield table, paired T-tests with a significance level of 5% were performed. The results indicated that there were no significant differences between the site index curve values at all ages, and the p-value was smaller after the reference age than before. Therefore, the site index curve developed through this study reflects the characteristics of the changing growth environment of C. japonica stands and can be used in accordance with the site index curve on the current yield table. Thus, this information can be considered valuable as basic data for reasonable forest management.

본 연구의 목적은 고대 그리스 시대부터 수학자들이 복잡한 기구를 손수 제작하는 수고를 감내하면서 탐구하였던 대수곡선을 기구가 아닌 공학을 사용해 재현하고 생성하는 활동을 수행할 때, 수학영재들은 곡선의 자취를 어떻게 작도하며 불변량(Invariants)은 곡선의 작도와 생성에 어떤 영향을 주는지를 구체적으로 살펴보는데 있다. 특히, 역동적 기하 환경에서 불변량(Invariants)의 역할과 의미에 관한 실증적인 자료를 확보해보는 연구와 수학영재들이 새로운 곡선을 창출하는 과정에서 나타나는 불변량의 활용 유형을 세분해보는 연구를 시도해 봄으로써, 불변량에 대한 교육적 활용 방안을 제시하고 그 활용 범위의 확대 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다.

고등학교 수학교과과정에서 이차곡선에 관련된 단원의 지도는 다른 어떤 단원보다도 연결성이 고려된 지도가 필요한 단원이다. 다시 말해 대수적 접근 방식과 기하적 접근 방식이 동시에 병렬적으로 지도되어야 한다. 특히 대수적 조작력이 미흡한 하위권 학생들에게는 이차곡선에 대한 성질을 역동적으로 표현하는 시각적 표상을 심어주는 기하적 접근 방식이 더욱 중요하다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 이차곡선의 지도에 있어서 GeoGebra에 기반한 역동적인 시각적 표상의 중요성을 제안하고자 현행 고등학교 '기하와 벡터' 10종의 교과서와 익힘책의 이차곡선 단원 중 포물선에 관련된 부분을 분석하여 시각적 표상을 극대화할 수 있는 지도 방안을 제안하는 실험적 수업을 진행하고 학생들의 표상의 변화를 분석하였다.

The problems of optimization addressed in the high school curriculum are usually posed in real-life contexts. However, because of the instructional purposes, problems are artificially constructed to suit computation, rather than to reflect real-life problems. Those problems have thus limited use for teaching 'practicalities', which is one of the goals of mathematics education. This study, by utilizing 'GeoGebra', suggests the optimization problem solving related to the quadratic curve, using the contour-line method which contemplates the quadratic curve changes successively. By considering more realistic situations to supplement the limit which deals only with numerical and algebraic approach, this attempt will help students to be aware of the usefulness of mathematics, and to develop interests in mathematics, as well as foster students' integrated thinking abilities across units. And this allows students to experience a variety of math.

주어진 제약조건을 만족시키는 부드러운 곡선과 곡면을 찾으려는 많은 시도와 노력이 계속되어 왔고, 보간과 근사 이론의 발달과 컴퓨터의 등장은 이러한 요구를 충족시키기 위한 중요한 역할을 하게 되었다. 곡선과 곡면을 모델링하는 지금까지의 많은 연구가 매개변수에 의한 방법에 집중되어 왔으나 모델링 시스템에서 물체를 표현할 때, 몇가지 문제에 직면하게 되었다. 따라서 최근에는 다항 방정식의 형태로 표현되는 음대수 곡선, 곡면에 대한 연구에 많은 관심을 갖게 되었고, 상대적으로 낮은 차수를 갖는 곡면을 만들 수 있게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 음대수 함수를 이용하여 표현된 곡선 및 곡면에 대한 기하학적 성질과 수학적인 계산 과정을 정리하고 이런 기본 배경을 바탕으로 여러 가지 방법을 이용하여 사용자가 원하는 곡선과 대칭성을 갖는 회전체 곡면을 쉽게 설계할 수 있는 도구의 구현에 대해 설명한다. 이렇게 구현된 회전체는 CAD나 CAM과 같은 실용적인 분야에서 대칭성을 갖는 복잡한 물체를 설계할 때, 중요한 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다.

Elliptic curves are a common theme among various fields of mathematics, such as number theory, algebraic geometry, complex analysis, cryptography, and mathematical physics. In the history of elliptic curves, we can find number theoretic problems on the one hand, and complex function theoretic ones on the other. The elliptic curve theory is a synthesis of those two indeed. As an overview of the history of elliptic curves, we survey the Diophantine equations of 3rd degree and the congruent number problem as some of number theoretic trails of elliptic curves. We discuss elliptic integrals and elliptic functions, from which we get a glimpse of idea where the name 'elliptic curve' came from. We explain how the solution of Diophantine equations of 3rd degree and elliptic functions are related. Finally we outline the BSD conjecture, one of the 7 millennium problems proposed by the Clay Math Institute, as an important problem concerning elliptic curves.
