  • Students can infer mathematical principles in a very natural way by connecting mutual relations between mathematical fields. These process can be revealed by taking tasks that can derive mathematical connections. The task of this study is to make expression and design it and derive mathematical principles from the design. This study classifies the mathematical field of expression for design and analyzes mathematical thinking process by connecting mathematical fields. To complete this study, 40 gifted students from 5 to 8 grade were divided into two classes and given 4 hours of instruction. This study analyzes their personal worksheets and e-mail interview. The students make expressions using a functional formula, remainder and figure. While investing mathematical principles, they generalized design by mathematical guesses, generalized principles by inference and accurized concept and design rules. This study proposes the class that can give the chance to infer mathematical principles by connecting mathematical fields by designing.

  • The current mathematical education calls for a learning environment from the constructionism perspective that actively creates mathematical objects. This research first analyzes JavaMAL's expression 'move' that enables students to express the agent's behavior constructively before they learn vector as a formal concept. Since expression 'move' is based on a coordinate, it naturally corresponds with the expression of vectors used in school mathematics and lets students take an embodied approach to the concept of vector. Furthermore, as a design tool, expression 'move' can be used in various activities that include vector structure. This research studies the educational significance entailed in JavaMAL's expression 'move'.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze expressions in the first and second grade math textbooks in elementary school in the aspect of possibilities of learners' understanding and propose proper directions for expressions in math textbooks to increase the possibilities of their understanding. The findings show that there were four types of expression errors and five types of mathematical errors in the aspects of expression method and content, respectively.

  • Formula for the area of a trapezoid is an educational material that can handle algebraic and geometric perspectives simultaneously. In this note, we will make up the expression equivalent algebraically to the formula for the area of a trapezoid, and deal with the conversion of a geometric point of view, in algebraic terms of translating and interpreting the expression geometrically. As a result, the geometric conversion model, the first algebraic model, the second algebraic model are obtained. Therefore, this problem is a good material to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the algebraic and geometric perspectives and to improve the mathematical insight through complementary activity. In addition, these activities can be used as material for enrichment and gifted education, because it helps cultivate a rich perspective on diverse and creative thinking and mathematical concepts.

  • The approach in this thesis is for prediction of deformed strip profile in hot rolling mill. This approach shows how to make an expression as a mathematical form in predicting strip profile. This approach is based on the velocity field, shear stress and material flow on the strip edge along width direction and lateral displacement and stress along width are analytically calculated. Roll force is calculated in each section and then combined together to show roll force distribution along width. All the assumptions to make equation form for this approach are supported by FEM simulation result and the result of model is verified by FEM result. So, this model will supply very useful tool to the researcher and engineers which takes less time and has similar accuracy in predicting roll force profile comparing to FEM simulation. This model has to be combined with deformed roll profile model, which include thermal crown prediction and wear prediction model to predict deformed strip profile.

  • This paper is concerned with the analysis of the busy period distribution in a batch arrival $M^X/G/1$ retrial queue. The expression for the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the length of the busy period is well known, but from this expression we cannot compute the moments of the length of the busy period by direct differentiation. This paper provides a direct method of calculation for the first and second moments of the length of the busy period.
