May be they didnt know the terms 'integration' , 'surface area' and 'volume ' , but they might have understood the real *usefulness* behind those concepts.
Nah.. I dont think so. Thats too much of generalization. I have come across many females who have been excellent techies and geeks and the i have seen 30% of girls in my CS grad school. I think the problem is that there are no 'celebrity' female techies -- We have Jobs , Linus Torvalds , Larry Page , Sergey Brin and ( with all due respect ) Bill Gates , but there seem to be no one from the other sex. Once we have someone like that , it might be a starting point for this inequality to lessen.
