About this item

Thanks to the popular misconception that girls are not good at math, careers in mathematics for women have historically been limited. Those who did work in the field were considered unfeminine and unappealing. All that is changing with concerted efforts to emphasize math education for girls and to expose girls to potential careers in mathematics. This resource suggests a variety of careers that rely on the study of mathematics and explains how to pursue them. Readers will also be advised about how to land their first job and how to advance up the career ladder.

This is just one of the topics covered in Modeling Ships and Space Craft: The Science and Art of Mastering the Oceans and Sky. You'll find more science my blog, including fluid dynamics, bubble science, and the science of bridges.Writing about science and technology is the best job I could ever have. I hope you enjoy reading about these topics as much as I enjoy writing about them!- Gina
