<p>Fair enough – I didn’t notice that, myself. Thanks for bringing it up. </p>
<p>Nonetheless, I think it is telling that while there often is a huge disparity between the math scores of science and non-science majors … there is far less of a gap between the science and humanities majors when it comes to the other areas (where humanities majors should theoretically have a commanding lead.) Indeed, physics majors have the 6th-highest English scores across the board, beating out several non-science disciplines… and math and physics are the two single highest-scoring areas in analytical writing. </p>
<p>I’d still like to see more data though… I agree with you that one study is not compelling enough evidence in itself. And as a math/physics person, I am certainly biased :)</p>
