As their children began moving up through the nation’s schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.

A. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture
B. Hard work and intelligence
C. Hard help and a limited knowledge of English
D. Asian culture and the American educational system
