Thanks. Your post made me feel better, and she’s feeling much better. I can just hear her saying tomorrow (unless there are any objectionable posts I don’t want her to see): “THOSE PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT ME?!! MOM, WHAT DID YOU DO?!”

by the way, my little sister is a math major at the university of michigan. she is on her way to becoming an actuary. she plays sports, is in a sorority, etc... and she has a number of job interviews/offers 6 months before she graduates.

my point is that girls are every bit as capable at math on average. there are some structural barriers to girls when it comes to math but your daughter seems to be overcoming those. good luck!
