It's kind of too bad that more women aren't doing math. There is a kind of peer pressure that forces them out early, otherwise there would be twice as many mathematicians in the world. Same for science, same for philosophy of the non wimmins-philosophy type.

Probably not twice as many, because Larry Summers has a point. But yeah, there's definitely a large social factor. Ditto for computer science and IT in general.

My 15 year old daughter LOVES math--she will be taking pre-calc next year at high school. She plans on majoring in math in college, not engineering or statistics, just math.

I have not a clue what kind of job she will get with that type of degree but I figure if she loves doing something most people either hate or can't do, she will be paid well to do it.
