    Open AccessElsie G J Moore, A Wade SmithARTICLESociological Perspectives1986Cited by: 1References: 10

    The differential course-work hypothesis posits that intergroup differences in mathematics aptitude result from differences between groups in both the extent and type of in-school exposure to mathematics and to related quantitatively oriented courses.
