Melanie Matchett WoodNumber Theory Mathematician
“Math is something that you get better at by practicing and doing more and by hard work. It’s not a matter of having a math brain or not having a math brain. It’s not as if you can be a math person or not a math person. It’s something that by working at and by practicing, you will get better at. The ‘I’m not so good at it’ excuse is a statement about how much work you’ve put in.”
Women need role models and they need mentors. Women who are successful should coach other women. When you have people like that as a good example to other women, change happens.
