Abstract: The high achieving young women in this investigation are not choosing to study mathematics at the college level, despite being in advanced and college level mathematics courses throughout their high school careers. This study looks at their perceptions of mathematics and role it plays in their educational and career decision making processes. The interviews were coded using six different themes of mathematics as a tool. Each of the themes are supported from quotes from the participants. The results of this study may provide additional insights as to why young women are not pursuing advanced mathematics at graduate levels. Introduction and Backgroun
