Gender Gap in Math

The verdict is this: There isn't a gender gap in math learning. See details here.

This means boys as well as girls can do well in math. Absolutely! What does gender has to do with it?

Female students can take any math class they like. No one is restricting them in American universities. Alas, look around the math classroom beyond the required basic classes. You will find mostly guys, especially foreign student guys. If math majors want to find a Miss Right in the classroom, probably should consider taking classes in nursing or elementary education and secure your Miss Right first then switch back to math.

Americans need not to worry too much about gender gap of advanced mathematics... work on the basics first! Ranking 25th in the world isn't something to be proud of. Come on America, yes we can.

There is no gender gap. Mom and Dad both learn that easy elementary school and high school math please! Mom and dad teach your kids please. Don't rely on the teachers alone.
