본 연구는 Newton의 Principia의 핵심인 역제곱 법칙의 증명에서 'QT²/QR가 통경으로 수렴'하는 것을 보여주는 증명의 난해함을 극복하기 위하여, Newton 증명을 발견적으로 볼 수 있는 하나의 관점을 제시하였다. 그것은 QR/QT²의 분모와 분자를 공액지름 쌍과 관련한 선분으로 나타내면 Apollonius의 Conic sections에 등장하는 이들 사이의 관계(PV × VG/QV² = PC²/CD²)에 의해 모종의 원하는 값인 어떤 상수의 값을 얻을 수 있을 것이라는 믿음이 증명의 출발점이라는 관점이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 발견적 관점은 식 QT²/QR 변형의 방향을 제시함으로써, 독자들이 Newton 증명을 보다 쉽게 이해할 수 있게 돕는다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

본 연구는 Newton의 의 핵심으로 일컬어지는 역제곱 법칙의 증명을 기하학적 극한과 관련하여 분석하고, 이를 수학교육에 활용하는 방안과 관련한 교육적 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다. Newton은 무한소에 대한 논쟁을 의식하여 전통적인 Euclid의 기하 방식으로 역학 문제를 해결하였다. Newton은 힘, 시간, 관성 궤도 이탈 정도 등을 기하 선분으로 표현함으로써 역학을 기하의 차원에 포함시키는 결과를 이뤄냈다. Newton은 특히 포물선 근사, 다각형 근사, 선분의 비의 극한이라는 기하학적 극한을 도입함으로써 Euclid 기하를 역학을 아우르는 새로운 차원으로 발전시킬 수 있었다. 이러한 분석을 바탕으로 Newton의 기하학적 극한을 수학의 유용성을 보여주는 도구로 활용, 곡선면적은 정적분이라는 통념을 깨는 수단으로 활용할 것을 제안하였다. 더불어 학교수학에서 기하학적 극한의 바람직한 활용을 돕기 위해서는 미시 세계에서의 동등성 확대 강조, 발견술로서 활용하게끔 유도하는 질문 활용, 미시 세계에서 선분의 동등성 파악에는 비의 접근이 유용하다는 인식을 돕는 과정이 필요할 것이라는 교육적 시사점을 제안하였다.

It is well known that a lot of mathematical theories of many famous mathematicians had scholarly effects on Isaac Newton. Nonetheless, his private internal view or attitude to natural philosophy is not so much known. In this paper we will approach him via his famous book Principia an physics and mathematics, considering the influences acted on him by mathematicians in the history of mathematics.

In the equilibrium theory of tides by Newton, tide on the Earth is a phenomenon driven by differential gravity contributed both by the Sun and the Moon. Due to the direct link of the generic tidal effect to the oceanic tides, college students in the earth science education department are exposed to this theory through oceanography lectures as well as astronomy lectures. Common oceanography textbooks adopt a non-inertial reference frame fixed to the Earth in which the fictitious, centrifugal force appears. This has a potential risk to provide misconceptions among students in various aspects including the followings: 1) this is how Newton originally derived the equilibrium theory of tides, and 2) the tide is a phenomenon appearing only in rotating systems. We show that in astronomy, a much simpler description, which employs the inertial frame, is generally used to explain tides and thus causes less confusion. We argue that the description used in astronomy is preferable both in the viewpoints of simplicity and ease of interpretation. Moreover, on a historical basis, an inertial frame was adopted by Newton in Principia to explain tides. Thus, the description used in astronomy is consistent with Newton's original approach. We also present various astrophysical tides which do not comply with the concept of centrifugal force in general. We therefore argue that the description used in oceanography should be compensated by that in astronomy, due to its complexity, historical inconsistency and limited applicability.

In this study I try to show some numerical analogy between Leibniz's binary system anc I-ching's symbolic system of duo rerum principia, imagines quator, octo figurae am 64 hexagrams. But, there is really a formal logical accordance in their symbolic foundations, on which are based especially the Wittgenstein's 16 truth-tables in his Tractatus-logico-philosophicus(5.101) am 16 hexagrams, as long as we interpret with the binary values 0 am 1, i.e. the Bi-Polarity, the logical tradition from J. Boole, G. Frege through B. Russell and AN. Whitehead to R. Wittgenstein. So, I argue that the historical and theoretical root of that tradition goes back to the debate between Bouvet and Leibniz about the mathematical structure of I-ching' symbols and the Leibnizian binary arithmetic. In the letter on 4. 11. 1701 from Peking to Leibniz, Bouvet wrote that the I-Ching's symbolism has an analogous structure with Leibniz's binary arithmetic. Corresponding to his suggestion, but without exact knowledge, in the letter of 2. January 1967 to the duke August in Braunschweig-Lueneburg-Wolfenbuettel had Leibniz shown already an original idea for the creation of the world with imago Dei which comes from binary progression, dark and light on water.

This paper explains methods of numerical analysis which appear on Cardano's Ars Magna and Newton's Principia. Cardano's method is secant method, but its actual al]plication is severely limited by technical difficulties. Newton's method is what nowadays called Newton-Raphson's method. But mysteriously, Newton's explanation had been forgotten for two hundred years, until Adams rediscovered it. Newton had even explained finding the root using the second degree Taylor's polynomial, which shows Newton's greatness.

The significance of Han medicine (韓醫學), the Korean traditional medicine, that has lasted throughout the past couple millenniums relies upon Han Philosophy distinguished by its uniqueness. In brief, the specificity of Han medicine is characterized by unity of spirit and body, part and whole. According to this theory, when curing a frozen shoulder, it is usually cured by acupuncturing the area around the part that aches, but also doing so on the area that is totally different from the aching part such as the opposite part of the body. In fact, this can be pursued only through aspects that enable one to realize the unity of part and whole, and a ground for this possibility bases upon the crux of Eastern Philosophy, I-ching(역), such as theory of Five Elements (음양오행) and Three Pillars(삼재). In Western set theory, the issues of Class(부류) and elements(요원), whole and part were independently discussed in the area of mereology, and the question of part and whole was encountered with aporia and paradox since Greek ancient philosophy. At the turn of this century, many philosophers endeavored to pursue academic inquiry to resolve this paradox, especially by Russell and Whitehead through ${\ll}$Principia Mathematica${\gg}$ at the beginning of this century. in the process, there came out a phrase 'Russell's Paradox'. Russell himself proposed a typological resolution as an answer to the inquiry. However, 'Russell's Paradox' still remains as an aporia even till present days. During medieval period, this inquiry was even considered as 'insolubia'. Throughout this paper, 1 attempt to provide an analytic aspect on 'Russell's Paradox' from an unique thinking method and perspective of Han medicine that embodies the concept of 'unity of part and whole'. To do so, 1 suggest a physiological model in the first place depicted by diagrams of Circle 원, Quadrangle 방, Triangle 각(CQT) that portray the logic of Hado or Hotu 하도 which is 'the pattern from the river Ho'. That is to suggest that CQT원방각 of Hado can De a logical foundation that explains the notions of spirit (정신,뇌), internal organs(장부), and meridian system which functions as a solution to the question of 'Russell's Paradox'. There are precedent academic works examining the issue from philosophical aspect such as Sangil Kim's ${\ulcorner}$Han medicine과 러셀역설 해의${\lrcorner}$ Han Medicine and Resolution of Russell's Paradox(2005), and this analysis will further attempt to critically examine such works from a perspective of Han medicine.

도서관 지적자유는 도서관 내외의 간섭과 규제를 반대하고 시민의 자유로운 정보이용을 보장한다는 점에서 공공도서관 활동의 철학적 기본원리를 표현하고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 공공도서관에서의 지적자유 운영여건을 알아보기 위해 서울시 교육청 산하 20개 공공도서관을 방문하여 사례조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과는 지적자유의 기본적 원리와 배치되는 것으로 국내 공공도서관 현장에서 이루어지는 외부적 간섭과 규제의 실체는 물론, 내부적 무지와 타성에서 비롯하는 제약요인의 실체를 확인해 주었다. 결국 이것은 지적자유 원칙을 국내 공공도서관 활동의 기반이념으로 개발하려는 당초의 연구목적에 충분한 근거를 제공하여 주었다.
