The phrase 'feminist pedagogy' couples the contemporary and the
traditional, joining current political movements with a concern for
the transmission of knowledge more ancient than the Greek word for
teaching. Now, two decades after the first Women's Studies courses
appeared on campuses, their place in higher education happily needs
little demonstration. Gendered Subjects combines a number of
classic statements on feminist pedagogy from the 1970s with recent
original essays making significant and original contributions to
the field. As the new scholarship on women has changed the content
and structure of knowledge in every field, so this collection aims
to mirror this impact on feminist pedagogy, with articles ranging
from broad theoretical perspectives on the realities of the
classroom to international explorations on how race, gender and
class, and political orientation inform feminist enquiry.
The revised edition of this book offers an extended overview of
quantum walks and explains their role in building quantum
algorithms, in particular search algorithms. Updated throughout,
the book focuses on core topics including Grover's algorithm and
the most important quantum walk models, such as the coined,
continuous-time, and Szedgedy's quantum walk models. There is a new
chapter describing the staggered quantum walk model. The chapter on
spatial search algorithms has been rewritten to offer a more
comprehensive approach and a new chapter describing the element
distinctness algorithm has been added. There is a new appendix on
graph theory highlighting the importance of graph theory to quantum
walks. As before, the reader will benefit from the pedagogical
elements of the book, which include exercises and references to
deepen the reader's understanding, and guidelines for the use of
computer programs to simulate the evolution of quantum walks.
Review of the first edition: "The book is nicely written, the
concepts are introduced naturally, and many meaningful connections
between them are highlighted. The author proposes a series of
exercises that help the reader get some working experience with the
presented concepts, facilitating a better understanding. Each
chapter ends with a discussion of further references, pointing the
reader to major results on the topics presented in the respective
chapter." - Florin Manea, zbMATH.
