[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of kids may be bad at math, but we do not have a dearth of CS majors.  And you have to pass those math classes as part of your CS major.

China and Russia have 3x and [b]1.5x respectively the population as the US[/b], so of course they will be graduating more students in STEM.   Russia's economy is also crap, so even if they are graduating a lot of STEM majors, it sure isn't helping their country.[/quote]

Russia's population is approximately 144M which is l[b]ess than half of US population (340M)[/b] and yet they produce many many more engineers.[/quote]

Good for them and the great products those engineers are producing. If there is one thing I look for when making a purchasing decision, it's the Made in Russia stamp of quality [/quote]
yea, I did correct myself up thread that Russia's population is smaller than the US, but that their economy is sh1t so what does it matter that their kids are better at math. It's not helping their economy.[/quote]
