Sommario/riassunto

This book appeals to scientists, teachers and graduate students in mathematics, and will be of interest for scholars in applied sciences as well, in particular in medicine, biology and social sciences. The models in this connection apply, in particular, to the study of the immune system response and to the predator-prey dynamic. The efficiency of public transport is also considered and blast waves in explosions are studied. Other contributions concern pure mathematics, in particular Pythagorean means, sequences of matrices and Markov chains, and these give evidence of deep links with Symmetry.

Sommario/riassunto

What role does gender play in scientific research and the development of technologies? This book provides methodological expertise, research



experiences and empirical findings in the dynamic field of Science and Technology Studies. The authors, coming from computer science, social sciences, or cultural studies of science, discuss how to ask questions about gender and give examples for the application in interdisciplinary research, development and teaching. Topics range from the design of information and communication technologies, epistemologies of biology and chemistry to teaching mathematics and professional processes in engineering. Contributions by Anne Balsamo, Wendy Faulkner, Rebecca Jordan-Young, Barbara Orland, Els Rommes, and others.

»A highly informative, thought-provoking and well-structured contribution to the field of Feminist Science and Technology Studies and an inspiration for any student, academic or researcher interested in ways of challenging inequalities of and in science and technology.«

»[Das Buch] bringt die Diskussion um Frauen in Naturwissenschaften und Technik auf den neuesten Stand. Theoretische Zugänge aus den unterschiedlichsten Wissenschaftsbereichen zeichnen ein umfangreiches Bild, das auch bislang unentdeckte Bereiche des Themas auszuleuchten vermag.«

»Das Buch [ist] aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive sehr bereichernd, da es einen Einblick in faszinierende Forschungsperspektiven und unterschiedlichste technologische Gebiete ermöglicht.Spannend an und in dem vorliegenden Buch ist die Synthese von radikalem Konstruktivismus und den naturwissenschaftlichen Referenzen des ›New Materialism‹. Gerade hier liegt abstraktes und praktisches Potential.«
