Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Women are scarce among the faculty in the very top-ranked graduate mathematics departments in the USA. Lawrence Summers speculated that a major contributing factor for this might be the scarcity of females who possess extremely high intrinsic aptitude for mathematics. To test this hypothesis, we determined the ethnicities and birth countries of females identified over time as having truly exceptional aptitude in mathematical problem solving as measured by the Putnam Mathematical Competition, International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), and USA Mathematical Olympiad. These data were compared with the ethnicities and birth countries of the women currently on the faculty of the top 5-ranked graduate mathematics departments in the USA. The findings from these analyses will be presented.
