Mathematics is the prince of science, and there is a popular saying that people with good mathematics have good brains. On a global scale,
In the field of mathematics, men far outnumber women. So, are men really smarter than women? I'm afraid this statement is hard to find.
Learning foundation. The recently published French magazine Future Science specifically analyzes this phenomenon.

At the end of this century,
European scientists are beginning to be interested in whether there are intellectual differences between men and women.
At that time.

Knot of
The theory is:
Women's brains are smaller than men's.
So their intelligence is weaker than that of men.
Fortunately,
This statement is out of date today.
Facts have proved that women's intelligence is not enough and even exceeds that of many men. For example, in the college entrance examination in China, girls usually get poor grades.
Better than boys. But at the same time, we should also see that there are still several fortresses for women in today's scientific community, and mathematics is one of them.
The strongest one.
France is recognized as a big mathematical country, and the Paris Mathematical Foundation has assembled a number of mathematical research institutions and

Home, but the proportion of women in the above institutions is insufficient.

. In order to find out the reason, France specially organized a group of experts.

This paper analyzes the examination papers of middle school students and primary school students,
The conclusion is:
In terms of math scores,
There is no difference between men and women,
The thinking ability of both sides is almost equal.
In-depth details, experts found that girls' arithmetic ability was stronger than boys' in the initial stage, but this lead followed.
Then disappeared; There is no difference between men and women in abstract thinking and problem solving, but in middle school, there is a difference
There is a difference: boys are ahead of girls in mathematics, and it is usually at this stage that they choose to study after going to college.
A critical moment in what major.
In France, there are ordinary universities and colleges.
(Grandcole)
Two kinds of institutions of higher learning, the former has the right after passing the entrance examination for secondary schools.
Registration, and to enter the latter, you need to go through two years of preparatory study before passing the exam, so the latter is considered an elite.
English college.
French women have less achievements in mathematics than men, so students who usually attend preparatory courses choose to include mathematics.
There are far fewer girls than boys in science and engineering. In fact, many girls think they are good at math, but they never think about it.
In the future, I will rely on mathematics to eat. Women prefer relaxed and lively subjects to purely rational thinking, which is probably the first one.
To explain why there are fewer female mathematicians than male mathematicians.
Experts also want to find out the so-called
"
talented
"
Among boys and girls, boys are particularly gifted in mathematics. Is this true?
The result of the analysis is not important. Because, with different times, different countries and different student groups, the answer to this question.
This case has been inconclusive. As before, the influence of the surrounding social environment seems to be quite important, but experts believe that
One thing is certain: the current trend is that women are becoming more and more powerful in the field of mathematics.
History may be able to answer people's questions,
Are there any female mathematicians without genius? The answer is yes.
In France,
The most iconic thing is to be born in

Later, it was discovered that,

Pang, the greatest mathematician in France19th century.
As early as 100 years ago, the Poincare conjecture put forward by Calais, a German, has given the premise of this equation.
Indeed, no woman has won the Nobel Prize in Mathematics-the Fields Prize. So, are women afraid of math? The answer of many female mathematicians is no. But some women who choose other fields admit that they have never thought about mathematics at all. Is it because the treatment of female mathematicians is different from that of male mathematicians? At this point, both male and female mathematicians deny it
The latest EEG analysis confirms that there are indeed differences between men and women. The difference is not in ability, but in brain function, which is caused by different interests in the object. However, this research is still in the exploratory stage.
Some analysts pointed out that there are many male mathematicians, which is not unrelated to the traditional image of mathematical rationality and abstraction. Although the image of mathematics in women's minds is slightly better than that of computer major, the image of mathematics is still male. This image is formed by tradition, and women don't need to take it seriously. It is important to stop masculinizing mathematics. Today in the 2 1 century, it is certainly time for ladies to show their talents.
