Great events in history have always brought about great changes in the lifestyles of humans. Every invention, every great war and every discovery has challenged the ways in which people lived up until that point. The 21st century bears the effects of various advancements in several different parts of human life. Sometimes it is called a “space age”, sometimes an “information age”, or a “computer age”. Some people have called it a digital age, or new media age too. However it is named, the time in which we live has challenged the lifestyles of the past and has brought about new requirements in skills and practices. Media literacy, leadership, critical thinking, and problem solving, are among the new skills required by the 21st century. However, the relationship between these skills and education has not yet been fully established. To this end, this book discusses these skills through theoretical and empirical studies in the context of Turkey.

The 20th century was a time of great upheaval and great progress in mathematics. In order to get the overall picture of trends, developments, and results, it is illuminating to examine their manifestations locally, in the personal lives and work of mathematicians who were active during this time. The university archives of Gottingen harbor a wealth of papers, letters, and manuscripts from several generations of mathematicians--documents which tell the story of the historic developments from a local point of view. This book offers a number of essays based on documents from Gottingen and elsewhere--essays which have not yet been included in the author's collected works. These essays, independent from each other, are meant as contributions to the imposing mosaic of the history of number theory. They are written for mathematicians, but there are no special background requirements. The essays discuss the works of Abraham Adrian Albert, Cahit Arf, Emil Artin, Richard Brauer, Otto Grun, Helmut Hasse, Klaus Hoechsmann, Robert Langlands, Heinrich-Wolfgang Leopoldt, Emmy Noether, Abraham Robinson, Ernst Steinitz, Hermann Weyl, and others.
