A 2006 article in The Harvard Crimson reported that only 17 women completed the class between 1990 and 2006, [3] and a 2017 article said that enrollment had been less than 7% female in the previous five years. [30] Math 25 has more women: in 1994–95, Math 55 had no women, while Math 25 had about 10 women in the 55-person course. [7]
The author gave evidence that even though most Chinese teachers had only 11 or 12 years of formal education, they understood basic mathematics better than did their U.S. counterparts, many of whom were working on their master's degrees. [4] In 1989, the more radical NCTM reforms were eliminated.
Males are enrolling in college in greater numbers than ever before, yet fewer than two-thirds of them are graduating with a bachelor's degree. The numbers of both men and women receiving a bachelor's degree have increased significantly, but the increasing rate of female college graduates exceeds the increasing rate for males.
Traditional mathematics education has been challenged by several reform movements over the last several decades, notably new math, a now largely abandoned and discredited set of alternative methods, and most recently reform or standards-based mathematics based on NCTM standards, which is federally supported and has been widely adopted, but ...
The onset of this phase typically occurs during a 'transition to higher mathematics' course, an 'introduction to proofs' course or an introductory course in mathematical analysis or abstract algebra. Students of computer science or applied mathematics may encounter this formalism during their underclassman undergraduate years via a course in ...
A US Department of Education longitudinal survey of 15,000 high school students in 2002 and 2012, found that 84% of the 27-year-old students had some college education, but only 34% achieved a bachelor's degree or higher; 79% owe some money for college and 55% owe more than $10,000; college dropouts were three times more likely to be unemployed ...
On the other hand, in most other countries (and in a few US states), mathematics is taught as an integrated subject, with topics from all branches of mathematics studied every year; students thus undertake a pre-defined course - entailing several topics - rather than choosing courses à la carte as in the United States. Even in these cases ...
