Definition

  • Although the field of mathematics, a traditionally men-dominated field, has seen an increase in participation by women, research continues to document differences in performance and participation for mathematically talented women. As minorities in the field, mathematically talented women are confronted with issues that relate to their domain-specific talent, to gender issues, and to the interactions of their mathematical talent with biological, physiological, and societal aspects of being women.
