While University President Lawrence H. Summers caused a furor in January by suggesting the possibility of “intrinsic” differences between men and women’s math and science abilities, the boys and girls in the new study performed equally well...

My acquaintances do not confirm the rule, leading to the suspicion that the true aliens are all at MITbut before I graduate, I will be sure to shop as many advanced theoretical math lectures as possible in order to confirm that hypothesis. At the very least, I hope to finally experience a shopping week that will make me feel better about the stylishness of my concentration instead of irremediably worse...
...with his lack of the temperament to pursue space as a career. "I took an observational astronomy course when I was in junior college," he says, "which essentially involved looking through a telescope. I loved it and aced it and then moved on to Astronomy 101, which was all math and theorems. I dropped it in a week...

The scene did not recur, but by Thursday, Saavedra had an even greater problem: math.
