Barbie likes math!
Since I have a daughter
interested in math, I've been closely following the
girls in math topic for awhile. I was ecstatic to
hear how well the girls' math olympiad team did
in China. More importantly, they had fun.
Ira Flatow, of NPR's Talk of the Nation: Science
Friday, interviewed the coach and one of the
team members in a segment on Women, Girls and Math. In an
interesting "comment," Flatow asked the girl if
team had been invited to the White House like so
many winning sports teams. I think our country's
priorities were demonstrated by her answer.
