In Bertrand Russell's words: “Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.” Math is a language of logic. It is a disciplined, organized way of thinking. There is a right answer; there are rules that must be followed. More…

because I loved mathematics, but I had no idea what I wanted to do with that love once I graduated. I wrote about the teacher who almost ruined my chances of being a successful student, and how vigorously I fought to get to where I am today. When the email came informing me of my denial, my heart sank. I had expected to be sad but I did not expect to be heartbroken because at that time I really had no idea what I wanted to do. However, that feeling made me realize that I loved mathematics…

like that how tough it is or how useless you feel if you don’t understand it. I have to work at math. I find it really tough and have usually made it through with a D-. I can't quite remember a time in my life I was any good at math. All through elementary school I felt everyone was always two steps ahead of me. I remember feeling like everyone was going to fast and I could never quite catch up. This has always made me feel self conscious because I excel at most other subjects but flounder in…

Growing up, I had always loved challenging myself by building and designing things. From childhood hobbies like drawing to learning how to sew pajamas to attempting to build the Eiffel Tower out of Popsicle sticks, I never failed to find new outlets for my creativity. In fact, the reason why I decided that I wanted to pursue engineering was because of a simulation game I liked to play whenever I had free time. In the game, I was able to design and build the most opulent and expensive houses that…

The idea that women do not belong in STEM or are not good enough to be in STEM has to start somewhere. Discrimination starts in the classroom and carries over into the workplace. Education is essential for STEM related jobs, and women are not as likely to go into STEM because of the experience in the classroom or the lack thereof. Studies have shown that high school is not too late to introduce an interest in STEM, to girls specifically. “..science education in the United States is not tapping…
