DCU academics have found the number of pupils taking higher-level maths has more than doubled.
Dublin City University Professor Lisa Looney says there is also been a rise in the number of teenage girls sitting the higher level paper.
"This is a really good news story," said Prof Looney.
"In 2011 we had just under 4,000 girls, young women, who would have taken higher maths. And this year it was over 8,000.
"So we have a growth of 4,000 in the potential pool of young women who have higher maths and who could take up STEM subjects at third level."
