Description

'Masculinities in Mathematics' addresses the important question of why more boys than girls choose to study maths. The author combines research with a theoretical approach, to argue that doing maths is doing masculinity. She discusses the ways in which the alignment of maths with masculinity creates tensions for girls doing the subject. - from Amzon
