But I have read plenty of research through math society publications that suggests that perhaps there is a genetic difference mathematically. The jury is still out, of course, but the numbers point that way. That's what the Harvard president in trouble, but the numbers are in his favor. It would be nice to figure all this out someday. I have only one female out of three classes I'm teaching this semester. Pretty status quo. -- Best regards, Chuck _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
