What’s it with girls and Math. I mean It’s like. Oh… Math… that’s so hard. While they learn a language in no time and what’s the differance between learning a language like german and learning a language like perl. I mean girl have reached the absolute peak of blind-fool-ish-ry.
I have loads of problems with learning german and frence, But I just learned C in 6 weeks. and I’ve had frence for over 5 years and german for 4. and I still can’t speak a word of both.
Same With girls they take math. Takes them ages to learn what would take me 1 hour. But i guess it the same with me and languages.
But come on girls, don’t drop math. I know it might sound silly to be able to conculate the dx/dy of a f(x). But really It’s handy… For something.
This is the main difference between girls and boys, ladies and gentlemen
Well, my sister studied Mathematics at the technical University of Vienna,
I’m more into economical things.
I speak German, English and French (and I know a bit of Latin),
so ALWAYS might not be quite exact
Wher do you guys live… I mean I’ve been around on more then 4 schools… mostly it’s 400 guys and 4 girls doing those studies… So yeah, there is a small margin that does like it.
It’s dy/dx for f(x) not dx/dy. Dx/dy will get you a useless number, while dy/dx will get you the slope of the function. It looks like you have disproved your theory. Ouch!
I have to agree with T-O to some extent on the math part…
I’m a math major, and most of my upper level math classes (not calc I, II, or III where you have quite a few non-math majors) are a sausage fest. I would say for every 2 or 3 guys there is 1 girl. Overall, my school is 61% female to 39% male.
I don’t have the statistics off hand, but there is an engineering school nearby that is supposedly 80-90% male.
