Brief version of the report “Gender, Mathematics and AMSI’s ChooseMaths Program: Analysis of Students’ Attitudes to Mathematics”. The underrepresentation of women in mathematics throughout the educational pipeline and in the mathematics-based workforce motivated the ChooseMaths program, a partnership between the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) and the BHP Foundation which aimed to build mathematical capacity and increase participation of girls and young women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
