1989 KyungPook National University, Ph.D. ( Mathematics )

1985 KyungPook National University, B.Sc. ( Mathematics )

My primary research interests have been in Geometry, in particular, the characterization and classification of hypersurfaces in real and complex space forms. I have taught a wide range of Mathematics using Technology ( Differential Geometry, Calculus and Linear Algebra using Mathematica etc.) and Computer language courses over many years and am the author of textbooks

General Calculus with Mathematica ( 2nd Ed.) published by KyoWooSa Press, 2002,
Linear Algebra with Mathematica ( 2nd Ed.) published by KyoWooSa Press, 2001,
Differential Geometry using Mathematica ( 3rd Ed.) published by KyungMoonSa Press, 2001,
Vector Analysis using Mathematica ( 2nd Ed.) published by KyoWooSa Press, 2001,
Aha! Mathematica published by KyoWooSa Press, 2001,
Algorithm Application with C, C++ published by KyungMoonSa Press, 2001

and am the translator of Korean Edition (published by KyoWooSa Press, 2002) of

Mathematica 4.0 (published by Cambridge University Press) written by Wolfram .

I also have made Mathematica Technical and Training Center in Inje University and done some work on Mathematics with Mathmatica with my colleague Prof. YunSoo Myung with particular emphasis on Cyber Lecture. I have also been working with my co-workers, Prof. P.J. Ryan and Prof. R. Takagi, on use of technology in Mathematics instruction (see paper), as well as on fundamental problems in differential geometry of hypersurfaces.

Moreover, the field of Mathematical Knowledge Management is very interesting to me, and my main reason for attending this workshop is to find out more about it.
