The history of mathematics is an important part of Chinese highschool mathematics curriculum. The current 2003 revised curriculum in China refers directly to the history of mathematics and presents it as one of the optional series. Moreover, they publish separate history textbooks for mathematics according to the 2003 revised curriculum. The importance of the history of mathematics in Chinese highschool curriculum, which was revised in 2017, has increased. This study aims to analyze the contents of the highschool curriculum and mathematics history textbooks, which were revised in 2003. Based on the results of analysis, we make suggestions on the use of mathematics history for teaching mathematics in Korea.

Although many people have recognized the importance of history of mathematics in mathematics education, there are few studies that history and mathematics educations are connected. In this paper, we present and discuss the ways of introducing the instruction with mathematics machines. This instruction use the history of mathematics as part of a class not as a tool to stimulate students' interest but as a goal that it can be targeted mathematical itself. To do this, we first analyze the characteristics of applying history of mathematics in mathematical education, second, describe the meaning and the educational value of mathematical machines, and finally explained the way of applying history of mathematics with mathematics machines. The Instruction of history of mathematics with mathematics machines has advantages that practice (manipulation and experiment) and theory (elaboration of definition, production of conjectures and constructions of proofs) are interlaced within a historic-cultural perspective.

We here discuss about the roles and meaning of Joseon mathematics in the history of Asian mathematics from cultural perspective. To do so, we focus on culture. We first look at the meanings and the definitions of the terms, civilization and culture, and their differences. We next discuss on the cultural perspective to look at the mathematical history of Korea, which is considered as a part of the history of Asian mathematics. It is notable that Joseon mathematics of Korea made Asian mathematics develop further, and played the roles of academic bridges among China, Korea and Japan. It also kept and prolonged the life of the Asian mathematics up to the beginning of the 20th century.

This study aims to analyze how the history of mathematics is used in Chinese mathematics textbooks. As a framework for analysis, we categorized nine types of using the history of mathematics in textbooks. We analyzed 18 mathematics textbooks for Chinese elementary and middle schools. As a result, we found that various types of using the history of mathematics were adopted in Chinese textbooks except for explorations of mathematical errors in history. We also noticed three characteristics: preference to using for motivation and reading matters in elementary school levels, high frequencies of using problems from traditional mathematical books and origins of mathematical concepts or symbols, and emphasis on ethnic superiority through the Chinese traditional mathematics. Based on the results of analysis, we discussed and induced some implications for using the history in our mathematics textbooks.

HPM (History and Pedagogy of Mathematics) activities deal with integrating the history of mathematics with the teaching and learning of mathematics. As a teacher of mathematics the author will share his personal experience in the engagement of HPM activities during the past forty-five years with fellow teachers who are interested in such activities and who may wish to know how another teacher goes about doing it.

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".

The paper is analyzed the crisis of mathematics for paradoxes in mathematics, also its process of conquest in the history of mathematics. We have found that various views of the infinity and infinitesimal in the history of mathematics. This study be tried to find out the process development of mathematics on passing through a crisis conquest of mathematics for contradictions in the hi story of mathematics.

Both history of mathematics and education of mathematics is old subject. The question arises wether can these two important subjects can help each other or not. Unfortunately this idea made mathematics society into two groups; one has idea that history of mathematics can help education of mathematics and other group has idea that not only history of mathematics can not help education of mathematics but also it makes some confusion. In this article the author is going to do some comparison and take some conclusion that history of mathematics can make education of mathematics so active and interesting.

본고에서는 수학사의 교수학적 의미를 살펴보고, 초등학교 6학년 학생에게 적합한 수학사 특강 자료 3차시(120분) 분량을 개발하여, 이를 수학자가 직접 학생들에게 강의함으로써 수학사 내용 및 수학자로 인해 학생들의 수학에 대한 태도에 어떤 변화가 일어나는지를 조사해 보았다. 그 결과 수학사 내용뿐만 아니라 수학자와의 만남도 학생들의 수학에 대한 태도 형성에 긍정적 효과를 주는 것으로 나타났다.
