Is Gender a Predictor of Success in College Mathematics Courses?
Nelson, C. Van; Leganza, Krystina K.
College and University, v81 n4 p11-18 2006
Gender was investigated along with other academic variables as predictors of success in entry-level freshman courses from liberal arts mathematics through calculus. The female students were more successful than the male students in all the courses, but gender became less significant as the sophistication level of the course increased. (Contains 16 tables.)
