We Are Losing Women from Mathematics
Mathematic Association of America--David Bressoud--September 2009--On Tuesday, September 22, I will be joining Sylvia Bozeman of Spelman College and Carlos Castillo-Chavez of Arizona State University to appear before the Congressional Diversity and Innovation Caucus to make a presentation on "Diversity and the Future of STEM: Filling the Undergraduate Mathematics Education Pipeline."
I will be making the case that we are losing women, African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans from the undergraduate mathematics education pipeline. In this month's column, I will explain the situation with regard to women. Next month, I will share the data I have uncovered on minority representation in undergraduate mathematics.
