Solutions to many problems are provided to let students check their progress, while class-tested PowerPoint slides are on the web for anyone running the course. By looking at both the big picture and easy step-by-step methods for developing algorithms, the author guides students around the common pitfalls. He stresses paradigms such as loop invariants and recursion to unify a huge range of algorithms into a few meta-algorithms. The book fosters a deeper understanding of how and why each algorithm works. These insights are presented in a careful and clear way, helping students to think abstractly and preparing them for creating their own innovative ways to solve problems.AlgorithmsStudy and teachingLoops (Group theory)Study and teachingInvariantsStudy and teachingRecursion theoryStudy and teachingAlgorithmsStudy and teaching.Loops (Group theory)Study and teaching.InvariantsStudy and teaching.Recursion theoryStudy and teaching.518/.1Edmonds Jeff1963-1042530UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910454516203321How to think about algorithms2466831UNINA03705nam 2200469 450 991063772260332120230429235307.09783031202865(electronic bk.)978303120285810.1007/978-3-031-20286-5(MiAaPQ)EBC7165974(Au-PeEL)EBL7165974(CKB)25913968500041(DE-He213)978-3-031-20286-5(EXLCZ)992591396850004120230429d2023 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDecolonising English Studies from the Semi-Periphery /Ana Cristina Mendes1st ed. 2023.Cham, Switzerland :Palgrave Macmillan,[2023]©20231 online resource (258 pages)Print version: Mendes, Ana Cristina Decolonising English Studies from the Semi-Periphery Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031202858 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- PART I. What Decolonisation Is and Why English Studies Needs It -- Decolonising the University: A Turn, Shift, or Fix? -- Excavating the Imperial History of English Studies -- Interrupting How the Literary Canon is Taught -- PART II. What A Decolonised Curriculum For English Studies Can Look Like -- Beyond Stasis: Intertextuality, Spreadability, and Fandom -- Adaptation Case Studies: Wuthering Heights and Home Fire -- Course Descriptions: English Literature (eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) and English Literature (twentieth and twenty-first centuries) -- Concluding Notes.This book investigates how decolonising the curriculum might work in English studies — one of the fields that bears the most robust traces of its imperial and colonial roots — from the perspective of the semi-periphery of the academic world- system. It takes the University of Lisbon as a point of departure to explore broader questions of how the field can be rethought from within, through Anglophone (post)coloniality and an institutional location in a department of English, while also considering forces from without, as the arguments in this book issue from a specific, liminal positionality outside the Anglosphere. The first half of the book examines the critical practice of and the political push for decolonising the university and the curriculum, advancing existing scholarship with this focus on semi-peripheral perspectives. The second half comprises two theoretically-informed and classroom-oriented case studies of adaptation of the literary canon, a part of model syllabi that are designed to raise awareness of and encourage an understanding of a global, pluriversal literary history. Ana Cristina Mendes is Associate Professor of English Studies at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, Portugal, where she teaches courses in cultural studies, visual culture and adaptation, and English history and culture. She is the author of Salman Rushdie in the Cultural Marketplace (2013) and The Past on Display (2013), and editor of Salman Rushdie and Visual Culture (2012). .DecolonizationEnglish literatureStudy and teachingPolitical aspectsDecolonization.English literatureStudy and teachingPolitical aspects.820.7Mendes Ana Cristina1149286MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910637722603321Decolonising English Studies from the Semi-Periphery3003164UNINA
