I Just Love Math And Most People

I Just Love Math And Most People Don't.

I Had Done Quite A Bit Of Research About Math Education When I Spoke Before Congress In 2000 About The Importance Of Women In Mathematics. The Session Of Congress Was All About Raising More Scholarships For Girls In College. I Told Them I Felt That It's Too Late By College.

If I'm Teaching Girls That Do Love To Make Cookies And Do Love Fashion - That They Can Use Math As A Part Of That - You Think That's Me Saying, Come On Girls You Belong In The Kitchen, You Belong Shopping? Or, Do You Think It's Me Showing Them How Math Is Part Of All Their Life, Even The Part They Thought It Had Nothing To Do With?

My Message Is: You Don't Have To Give Up Being Popular, Fun, Or Fashionable In Order To Be Smart; They Can Go Hand And Hand. Doing Math Is A Great Way To Exercise Your Brain; Being Smart Is Going To Make You More Powerful In Life.

My Husband Is A Composer, So He Plays Piano All The Time And I Sit There And Clap Telling My Unborn Child, 'hear Me Clap, Hear The Music.' I Know Music, In General, Is Supposed To Be Good For Babies To Hear.
