That phenomenon occurs elsewhere, and high proportions of foreign students in the sciences are relatively common in other industrialized countries, especially those with former colonial ties. The percentages of foreign natural-science doctoral students in several countries are depicted in figure 6.

The percentage of minority-group members receiving mathematics PhDs is much smaller. For example, only 8 of some 583 mathematics PhDs awarded to Americans went to blacks in 1993, and this number has remained roughly constant over the last decade.
