"Sir" Knighthood in Cricket. Do you feel Similar to "Sir" Knighthood in Cricket, there can be conferred "Madam" for Women Cricketers who have excelled?

Proof: Let x be the number of men, y be the number of women and z be the number of children. Then we have 3x+2y+0.5z=100 such that x+y+z=100. Note that x+y+z=100 gives us z=100-x-y. Substituting this result...

hmmmm this question is a bit confusing... i.e on the part of finding the number of women. Looking at the graph, and say considering Red, it's pretty obvious that men are ##3##, now my confusion is on the number of women, is it ##5## or ##8##? my thinking falls on two perspectives,firstly that...

I could be wrong I haven't checked, but women have 2 x's and men have an x and a y. So is an x more DNA than a y?

I ran across this table that lists the % of engineering and cs degrees awarded to women by school in 2014-2015. You can sort on any column, ascending or descending. http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/local/women-in-engineering-and-computer-science/2089/?tid=a_inl-amp This was useful to...

OK, first of all, I am not quite certain where this topic should go. It does deal with academic guidelines and requirements, but it isn't really a "guidance" for students. So I was half tempted to post this in the General Discussion forum, but at the last minute, decided to post it in Academic...

There is a movie out--"Hidden Figures"--about how three women launched the space program; or something like that. My daughter wants to write about them for a school project. I keep suggesting my daughter write about Sophie Germain, or Emmy Noether, Daubechies or Hypatia. But my daughter...

Curious to know.

The American Physics Society is making the following official statement http://www.aps.org/policy/statements/15_2.cfm where they use the word "disappointing" referring to the percentage of physicists that are women. Of incoming physics majors, about 20% are girls, and 80% are boys. When a...

Do you find women wearing nail polish attractive ? Why do men not wear nail polish ?

i honestly don't want to start a debate hear, i just encountered this question in a recent test, i decided notto answer it. Homework Statement Assertion (A): Biologically, Women are superior to men. Reason(R):The female takes care of the developing foetus, females also provide nourishment for...

Or is this just a myth? If women are in fact more emotional, then what is the evolutionary reason for this? Thank you.

a giggle for the day :)

Apparently it has been thought that heart disease is mostly a men's disease. But - Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease. Heart disease is now the No. 1 killer of women, causing more deaths than all cancers combined! And yet only 56 percent of American women...

First of all, I'd like to clarify my title by pointing out it is NOT a dodgy pick-up line. I am a female myself and have noticed that pretty much every woman who enrolled at my university in physics is going on, or plans to go into the field of astrophysics, myself included. I am wondering if...

Apparently more women accompanied their husbands or families during Viking journeys/migrations than previously thought. Some apparently fought on the battlefield, or at least wielded swords and possibly wore armour...

My daughter graduates next week. Major in EE, minor in Physics and Econ. Here are my observations as a parent of a daughter who was only 1 of 4 EE females at her school. My daughter's school is proud of how they encourage females in engineering, but they should be ashamed of it...

Hi all, I want to read and learn about the contributions minorities and women have made to science so that I can highlight these contributions when I teach and be aware of them. I really am not sure where to look for this information, though. I was hoping some people on here might be able...

In how many ways can a non-empty collection of people to be chosen from 4 men and 3 women to lineup for a photo if the number of men must be the same as the number of women? I said {4 \choose 1} {3 \choose 1} 2! +{4 \choose 2} {3 \choose 2} 4! + {4 \choose 3} {3 \choose 3} 6! Is this right?

From your own experience do you think being a scientist or a science student has helped you attract beautiful girls? Discuss.

What evolutionary advantage does it serve? Is the lack of physical strength simply a biproduct of being able to give birth? It seems strange that those who produce the young would not be able to defend themselves most efficiently.

There seem to be blogs popping up all over the place about women in science. They are a great idea. There is often a lack of science on such pages making it difficult to get a good picture of what women in science are actually doing. I am an accelerator physicist, at this moment working on...

Actually, I wanted to ask "At what point a promising young female student would be discouraged from pursuing further enlightening in the path of science and engineering" but the title limits the characters inputted. When trying to apply for engineering schools or science academies, I...

I have a substantial mathematics library. Perusing my collection, however, I noticed that none of the book authors were women. I find the lack of prominent female authors in mathematics to be disturbing, both in my libabrary and in the literature in general. So can any of you recommend me...

Hi all, In the past 6 years I have worked with four women. One develops ANSYS models with and for me, another develops custom Excel add-in engineering programs with me, another is project manager, and lastly, one is a chemical engineer. I have found that working with women is much more...

I was watching Lincoln last night, and at a part were the idea of women voting was laughed at by the legislators. My mom's comment was along the lines of "Oh right, women weren't smart enough to vote back then." or something similar (and a sarcastic tone of course). My retort was that around...

Homework Statement From a group of 5 women and 7 men, how many different committees con- sisting of 2 women and 3 men can be formed? What if 2 of the men are feuding and refuse to serve on the committee together? Part 1: my attempt: for men, we have 7 choose 3 for woman, we have 5 choose 2...

Women aren't cattle, they're not "owned" and should have the same rights as men. I just find this attitude toward women unacceptable. http://news.yahoo.com/egypts-islamists-warn-giving-women-rights-could-destroy-061331905.html

I'm curious: Do most people (personal, industry, academia) still consider women a minority in physics? I was looking up a requirement for a fellowship which was specifically for minorities, and it got me thinking about this question. Personally, it seems like being female and...

There is so much baloney that people write and say about how men can get women to feel attracted to them. I have seen and heard so called pick up artists argue this ad nauseum. Male pick up artists all say: It's all about confidence. This is such baloney. Whoever heard of a woman who said...

My personal opinion is that generally more men are insecure/self-conscious (especially in this generation), however, maybe not to the extent women are. Any thoughts?

I know that science hasn't always been kind to women in the past but that seems to have changed. So why is it that there are so few women in the scientific community. I know it isn't extremely difficult to find a woman scientist, but compared to men the numbers are rather low (according to...

Any women out there with a PhD in physics? I was wondering, do any of you have families? When did you start? I'm a woman myself majoring in physics. With all the time needed for people in general to receive their PhD... then go through post docs for a few years... then finally, hopefully...

At how much of a disadvantage with women is a 5'8" guy? Five-eighter here. I realize I don't have a physical presence that signals dominance.

If so, what do they garner by them? Today I bought my very first pair of very fine shoes. Hopefully they'll last a loooong time. I'm also just wondering if what they say is true, do mothers really tell their daughters to check out a man's shoes?

Why are women more brightly "colored" (whereas in other animals males usually are)? So, possibly I'm looking for the explanation according to Richard Dawkins, but I'd welcome all points of view. Why do women dress more brightly (when men still do the courting), while in other animals the sex...

It's a simple question that deeply depresses me: Why do girls like guys that lie to them? The sad part is that most of them don't even know they are being lied to/like being lied to most of them time. I am asking this question both from my observation of people and my own experiences; I find...

I hope that my thread title does not sound too risqué. I have noticed in my city, now that it is summer, that many women are wearing tops that are completely open at the back, exposing the undergarments. This got me thinking (always a dangerous thing)...why are so many women wearing these tops...

What is the sexism in physics field like? I heard there's a lot of sexism in the field.

It's my perception from random remarks that have been made here over the years that most people's math/science classes have been populated by a markedly higher proportion of men than women, and that interest in math/science dooms guys to a sort of involuntary monastic existence, as far as...

As a girl I worry about going into an engineering field. I'm concerned about job prospects for women or discrimination in the work place. I also worry that it might be strange to be a minority in a class of mostly men. I’d like to hear what some girls think if there’s any on here that know about...
