This volume explores the profound impact of Felix Klein on the evolution of mathematics beyond Germany, particularly in number theory, algebra, geometry, analysis, and the application of mathematics in scientific and technical fields, as well as mathematics education. The various essays in it highlight the often-overlooked contributions of mathematicians from diverse backgrounds, including Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian scholars who studied under Klein. By examining the protocols of Klein's seminars from 1872 to 1912, this book uncovers how his teachings shaped their careers. Additionally, it explores Klein's collaborative efforts with David Hilbert and their influence on international mathematical communication.

This volume is essential reading for historians of mathematics and researchers interested in the development of science and mathematics at the turn of the 20th century.
