Mathematical Doodles in Türkiye and the World

Google Doodles are special designs created by Google for special occasions and historical events. The math-themed doodles created and published by Google between 2000 and December 2022 were examined in this study, which was performed using the document analysis method. 39 math-themed doodles from Google's doodle database were examined. As a result of the content analysis, it was observed that 37 doodles were created to honour mathematicians, while two were created specifically for Pi Day. Two of the 16 Google Doodles in Türkiye that have a mathematical theme are tied to Pi Day, while 14 of them are about mathematicians. One of these mathematicians is from the Republican era, and the other is from the Turkish-Islamic era. The remaining 12 mathematicians come from various nations. However, while doodles honouring well-known Turkish-Islamic mathematicians such as Al-Biruni and Al-Rhazi were published in other countries, they were not published in Google Türkiye. Some suggestions have been developed in line with the results of the study.
