American high school students trail teenagers from 14 European and Asian countries in reading, math and science. We're even trailing France.
Suzanne Fields
And by the same token, I appreciate math, because I can't do math. If I have to read a map or figure out the tip on a restaurant bill, I might start to tear up a little bit.
Thomas Wilson
And they're also very good at math, these super boogers, and so they teach Billy the ways of mathematics.
William Joyce
At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.
William Standish Knowles
Believe it or not, lots of people change their majors and abandon their dreams just to avoid a couple of math classes in college.
Danica McKellar
Brian and I were both science students. You know science sort of math and physics side, you know.
John Deacon
By the end of an intense four years at UCLA, I had co-authored a new math proof, which the media, in fact, loved. As it turned out, math itself blazed my entry back into the spotlight and consequently into wonderful acting jobs like 'The West Wing' and others. You just never know, do you?
Danica McKellar
During my McGill years, I took a number of math courses, more than other students in chemistry.
Rudolph A. Marcus
Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.
Peter Lynch
Find your self-respect now. Don't dumb yourselves down. Think of yourself as capable and worthy of finding a guy who is going to respect you, too. It's so important, I mean, and the confidence you get from feeling smart and tackling something like mathematics, which is a challenge, right? Math is hard.
Danica McKellar
I can become very emotional about math, although I'm not that good at it.
Elizabeth Moon
I continued to study Math and Physics on my own, but one and a half years later I realized that I did want to be a composer, and after that I never changed my mind.
Gyorgy Legeti
I did grow up with a really big interest in math and science; I liked it.
Linda M. Godwin
I didn't mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects, but I think I was a pretty good student.
Alan Shepard
I didn't really think about becoming a professional artist until high school, when I realized that everything else required too much math.
Phil Foglio
I didn't think that college math was for me. I didn't think I'd be able to hack it. And that perception of math not being for girls, not being for girls who see themselves as socially well adjusted has got to change.
Danica McKellar
I dislike math, yet I respect and appreciate the fact that math is the language of the universe.
Lucas Grabeel
I do not think we are ever going to be able to, for a long time, get the kind of quality of school personnel that we need in our schools, especially in the areas of science and math. One of the answers to that problem is to use more educational technology.
Major Owens
I don't think our music has much to do with math rock.
Ian Williams
I had done quite a bit of research about math education when I spoke before Congress in 2000 about the importance of women in mathematics. The session of Congress was all about raising more scholarships for girls in college. I told them I felt that it's too late by college.
