Brief Reports: Mathematical Preparation Versus Career Aspirations: Sex-Related Differences Among College-Bound Wyoming High School Seniors (original) (raw)

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1981

Abstract

Students from a broad range of fields of study at the University of Wyoming have commented that the mathematics courses required for completion of their college programs were posing serious obstacles. When questioned, the students report that they terminated their study of precollege mathematics as early as possible on the assumption(s) that no mathematics was required for the fields they wished to enter and/or that college mathematics courses were available wherein they could correct any mathematical shortcomings. For many students, both assumptions proved erroneous.
