Real Reason More Women Are Not Math Related

Isn't that strange? I'd heard of ppl with brain injuries having various synesthesias but that was a first. Turns out that although rare, it happens spontaneously. Interesting article:

https://www.apa.org/monitor/mar01/synesthesia

From the article: "Some synesthetes hear, smell, taste or feel pain in color." I had that happen following a ruptured brain aneurysm. I could "see" the damaged areas in my head as blobs of color -- orange, green, yellow, purple. Eventually (thankfully!!!) that faded away and now a headache is just a headache.

Wow


They posit that all are born with it and then it fades

And that drugs can trigger it in many

OH but wait -- there's more! My middle daughter was and is simply brilliant at just about everything... language, math, foreign languages, music, art. But not athletics. Used to tease her that she had to avoid the Hallmark store at the mall or she'd owe them a paycheck for all the stuff she knocked over. She knew upper and lower case letters, and numbers up to 20, by the time she was 18 months old. She could read at age three. But at the end of fourth grade, she informed us that she was not going to get As any more because she wanted kids to like her and nobody did because they said she was "too smart." Peer pressure can be such a terrible thing. My dad had a talk with her and told her how he was born with a crippled leg. All he wanted was to play sports like his brother and the other boys. But since he couldn't he recognized that he did have one gift that they didn't have -- his mind -- so he developed that instead. It worked! She got straight As all the way through h.s. and now owns two college degrees as well.

Kids just need someone to believe in them so that they can believe in themselves, eh?

A story for every occasion!

it is possible men and women's brains are wired just differently enough to cause a small disparity when it comes to being interested in and excelling in advanced math. but not enough for this huge gap. that comes down to eons of socialization and expectations and the human tendency to follow the path of least resistance. we know that IQ wise, and skill wise, there are plenty of women as brilliant and productive in these difficult fields as men, and that pretty much proves it is more of a socialization phenomenon than a DNA related phenomenon, much like the varying IQ results of different races...not enough to even worry about.

how about the reverse? are women just better at English than dudes? are they born with better cooking skills? are they superior to us at synchronized swimming? that is what matters!!

"Women wired differently."

You need to go back to liberal training school. How is that possible when gender is a choice lol?

A great story.

I liked this tale of a mathematician who overcame adversity and tragedy to become one of the foremost mathematical intellectuals in her country.

Google Doodle celebrates mathematician Olga Ladyzhenskaya

Thursday's Google Doodle looks at Olga Ladyzhenskaya, a mathematician who endured a tragic loss to become one of the great thinkers of her time.

Ladyzhenskaya was born March 7, 1922, in Kologriv, a small town in western Russia, and spent her early years being inspired with a love of mathematics by her father, Aleksandr, who taught the subject.

She lost him as a teenager in 1937, when he was arrested by Soviet authorities, declared an enemy of the state and killed. Her family name stopped her from getting into Leningrad State University (now Saint Petersburg State University) two years later, but she ultimately got into Moscow University in 1943. After earning her Ph.D., Ladyzhenskaya went on to lead the Laboratory of Mathematical Physics at the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow and to write more than 250 papers.

She's best known for her work on fluid dynamics of the Navier–Stokes equations -- which describe the motion of viscous substances -- and partial differential equations.

Ladyzhenskaya's contributions to the field earned her the Lomonosov Gold Medal from the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2002. She died on Jan. 12, 2004, at the age of 81.

Do you deny that Blackd probably do better at Athletics due to more fast twitch muscle mass?

Personally I'm sick & tired of you Politically correct bozos always denying reality.
Having the nerve to call everybody else stupid.

you just do not know enough to know how stupid you are, boy. no fast twitch muscles in tennis or swimming or baseball or hockey? tennis might be the most overall physically demanding sport, and you say white people cannot do it because they are not built right? the differences between races IS TOO SMALL TO MAKE ANY REAL DIFFERENCE.

Owl’s life is rich and she’s a gifted writer with a mind for details, some people are jealous of others storytelling abilities. Thank goodness for those people, they were and are the historians.
