Just wanted to say that I think that really missed the point here. The
problem is NOT just that there aren't more women in the field of
mathematics, the problem is that there aren't more women in
math or science related fields, such as: physics, chemistry, computer
science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical,
aerospace, materials, etc, etc, etc... 

So what you are saying is that women are more money-grubbing than men?
Only when "the profession pays as well as medicine or law" will there
be more women in math and science??!? Clue hammer for you, Dale.
