Women in math combat stereotypes
By PENNICRABTREE
Steff Reppert
Staff Reporter
During the Middle Ages, women interested in mathematics were objects of suspicion. One famous woman the mathematician was even burned at the stake.
Today, women in mathematics or the sciences are still getting burned, although not quite so literally, as men. Many professors, associate professor of mathematics
"The hiring of women in math and math-related fields is scandalously law," Rohman said yesterday. "At-MC, I have had a masculine field change slowly."
Roitman and three other female instructors in math or math-related fields discussed the frustration and satisfaction they have experienced at a forum held last week in the Kansas Union.
Roltman said that about 7 to 10 percent of all people holding Ph.D.'s in mathematics are women.
"Ideally 7 percent of the jobs in mathematics should be filled by women. Roltman said, "but the women of wage hired is nothing near that."
The mathematics department at the University of Kansas has 6 percent of its staff positions held by women, Roltman said.
"The University of Kansas does much better than the national average on hiring, but the real question is one of tenure," Roitman said. "Women mathematicians have a harder time getting tenure than men."
The panel also discussed the need for more women to become involved in math and science fields, and the reasons why few women do.
"For women with a good background in math, there are a lot of job options open," Roitman said. "Unfortunately, women are afraid of math, they don't think they can do it, so they go into a humanities field."
Another panelist, Kristin Mertes, assistant professor of chemistry, said many women did not pursue a career in medical school and they thought it was "unwomanly."
"I think that women students are brainwashed by the time they are freshmen in college," Mertes said. "When someone finds out that a woman is a math or chemistry major, they say, 'Gee, you must be brilliant.'"
Women students tend to take the minimum academic requirements of math, and then avoid the rest, another panelist said.
'You don't hear anyone say that to a man; it's expected of them.'
"Women sabotage themselves when they do that," Nona Tolesfler, associate professor of education, said. "We are not good at math ability get the advanced degrees."
"Women need to have more confidence in their abilities. We can work with numbers. We can solve problems."
Women are often deflected from careers in math or science as early as grade school or high school and have become mathematically inferior. Rothman said.
To combat this attitude, Congress recently passed the National Science Foundation Act, which will set aside $30 million for projects designed to encourage women and girls to study math and science.
"Sometimes it seems to go in cycles," Roitman said. "We get away from the attitude that women can't do math, and then some idiot publishes a piece of 'research' that claims, all over again, that women can't work with numbers."
This tractor, seen yesterday on Jayhawk Boulevard, was a familiar sight as Facilities Operations employees worked at the property, and the sight to plow campus roads and clean sidewalks in the aftermath of a snow storm that hit the area Monday afternoon.
