Abstract
This study examined attitudes toward mathematics of 169 freshmen in Fall 2000 and 117 freshmen in Fall 2005 enrolled in mathematics courses at a private liberal arts college by use of the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI).

Male students scored significantly higher than female students in all four factors.
