Careers for tech girls in math / by Hagler, Gina,author.(CARDINAL)354268;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Making it big in math: career fields -- Statistics and finance: using numbers to tell a story -- Computer science and cryptology: spotting patterns -- Educating others: sharing your love of math -- Theoretical and applied mathematics: using math to imagine possibilities and solve -- Problems -- Operations research and optimization engineering: math to the rescue -- Getting your first job -- Lifelong learning: advancing up the ladder."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"--Provided by the publisher.Grades 7 to 12.
