Hangeul

This is my graphic art inspired by Hangeul. This artifact is made from my name in Hangeul, 김유빈. I was inspired by symmetry and topology embedded in Hangeul and made a point symmetric artifact. In the middle, the blue circle, green square, grey sticks and red and yellow dots represent 유 with the vowel ㅠ rotating around ㅇ. On the top left corner and the bottom right corner, red, brown, and yellow sticks and the green square represent 김 together. Similarly, purple squares and blue sticks from the top right corner and the bottom left corner and ㄴ shape created by the green square together represent 빈.

    Yubin, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research about Hangeul. I learned so much from your presentation, and have a new perspective on the development of language. The connections that you illustrated and explained between geometry, anatomy, and language are amazing. It would be great if a copy of your creation and the brief explanation above became a part of the Room 1211 math/art gallery!

The Marshall Islander's Charts

    The relation between maps and mathematical idea was very interesting. From mathematical perspective, maps are visual model of 3D-spaces and geography on a paper. What was more interesting part of the Marshall Islander's charts to me is that charts model the relationship between the boat and waves and winds, instead of representing geographical location and structure of lands and sea. I was very surprised to learn that Marshall Islanders used their charts on land rather than when they were on sea voyaging. I think this was possible for them as their charts demonstrate the idea of how to determine the directions considering the interaction of the boat, wave, and winds at the moment, and Marshall Islanders had clear ideas of what their charts represented.    Embodied mathematics are great examples of demonstrating the process of mathematical thinking. As humans from ancient history did not have the same number systems or formulas as we do now, the thought proce...

Response to: Why teach the history of mathematics?

        I believe that incorporating history of math within math education will enable unconventional approach to mathematical concepts. The history of math can provide information about why and how a mathematical concept was discovered and studied. Also, variations between the modern language and the historical expression within a mathematical context can be helpful to learn different perspectives and methods from what is being taught in a traditional math class. Hence, I think that learning the math history will allow students to explore mathematical concepts in depth and beyond numbers, symbols, and formulas.      From the article, I related the most to the quote, "mathematics is not a rigidly structured system of results, but a continuously evolving human intellectual process," as I strongly agree that mathematics is a process of identifying problems, finding solutions, and explaining it in its language. The history of math is a part of that proces...
