Abstract

The collected volume at hand proves that gender research can offer a diverse contribution to mathematics and informatics. The book presents research results that approach the topic from very different (inter-)disciplinary perspectives. This project covers not only women (and men) in mathematics or informatics. For example, it re-interprets mathematic theories from a feminist perspective, such as the teaching about even and uneven numbers, in that they are brought into connection with weaving in ancient Greece.
