Question: How can I use the
Answer: There are two ways. 1) You may want to organize an activity. For example, you may want to teach mathematics to children in the 13-15 year age group, or to adults. If you are a maths teacher, you may want to be left on your own with your class for a week. If you are a researcher you may want to bury yourself in your work by yourself or with a friend, food and bed provided. You may want to organize small meetings, seminars, or workshops (no more than 30-40 people).

Question: What does the
Answer: Besides three delicious meals a day and a bed to sleep in, nature, peace and an ideal atmosphere for working. We have a closed classroom and an amphitheatre for lectures. Small bowers are now being built for small study groups. We hope to have the pool finished by 2009. Television, radio and diffusion of loud music are nonexistent. We try to avoid any activity in the Village which may keep one from concentrating. We have rooms for two as well as dormitory-type rooms for 4, 6, 8 or 10 people. The Village houses are almost all made of rock, mud and straw. VIP’s may also take advantage of the more comfortable numerous pensions the nearby Şirince village has to offer.

The subscription costs 16 New Turkish Lira per annum. Go to http://www.matematikdunyasi.org/abonelik/ to subscribe.
Question: How much does staying at the
Answer: When we divide the Village’s yearly expenses by the total number of nights stayed for all guests, the costs comes up to 50 to 60 YTL per person per day! We would be ashamed to ask students to pay this amount. With help from various organizations, we are able to offer lodging and meals for between 10 and 30 YTL. This price includes three daily meals and a bed. From students who stay in tents, we will ask between 5 and 20 YTL for meals. We will provide any kind of help and facilities to researchers who don’t have any institutional support. I must clarify here that the Village is a strictly non-profit organization. If any profit is made by mistake, it will be returned to society.
Question: What is expected from the participants?
