From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_and_intelligence In a 2008 study[19] paid for by the National Science Foundation in the United States, researchers found that "girls perform as well as boys on standardized math tests. Although 20 years ago, high school boys performed better than girls in math, the researchers found that is no longer the case.

The reasons for the sexual differences in mathematical abilities are different, because math abilities are not a -primary- reason for survival. Tools engineering and mastering is.

Could you point us to any evidence that supports your assumption that there are "sexual differences in mathematical abilities"?
Thanks, Jochem
