If he was that good he wouldn't use Matlab/Octave to teach his class.

I don't understand it. If they introduce a 2000 rupee note, isn't that exactly the same thing?

Re:Tech's gender gap is getting worse, not better on Saturday October 22, 2016 @06:42PM (#12770905)
If girls don't want to pursue Computer Science, why force them to? The majority of girls simply don't enjoy programming. Some (like my sister), do. The rest are free to pursue whichever other career they prefer. Although the media tries to paint it as a matter of nurture, it's mostly a difference in nature between men's and women's preferences.

The only reason this push to get girls into STEM exists in the first place is because of all the money and opportunities that are pouring into tech careers. You don't hear the media complain about the gender gap for boiler repair technicians or the reverse gender gap in nursing.
