McKellar and Math
Russell's a mathematician by training as well as a Wonder Years fan, so he ought to appreciate this one. Anna Johns at TV Squad:
Winnie Cooper, hottest math geek ever Yes, I'm a girl. But I'm not blind. I know that Danica McKellar, the actress who played Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, is drop-dead gorgeous. She's also wicked smart. As you may remember from Ryan's retrospective earlier this year, McKellar graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mathematics. She's putting that knowledge to work by writing a book for middle-school girls about how to master math. It's called 'Math Doesn't Suck' and it's being published next year by Hudson Street Press. McKellar said she wants to help break the stereotype about how only geeks are good at math.
Good for her. (Except she's wrong. Math does suck.)
I would like to agree than not only geeks are good at math. But only geeks are GREAT at math!
