I would venture that women are less adept at spatial applications ** (like geometry, trigonometry) than men, and rather better than most men at the abstract facets of math (like algebra and calculus). I also believe (but I cannot prove) that there is more of a genetic basis for the difference in spatial ability between the genders. Calculus is just discipline. I'm also rather annoyed by the statement that 'fewer women succeed in science and math careers'. By what metrics? Surely, fewer women pursue science and math careers, but the ones I've known certainly are on a par with their male counterparts, and perhaps exceeding them when it comes to lab work. Surely there are differences in ability and approach between the genders, but there is no merit in claiming that one is superior. ** This explains the (lack of) driving skills too...
