Danica McKellar(who played Winnie on the show The Wonder Years) is carving a new path for herself, author of math books. Man I wish I had a math teacher that looked like her..I always got the 80 year old teachers.

I remember reading about Danica McKellar's math career years ago. She has done a lot more than just write a popular book about math. She is a serious researcher and has been credited on a peer reviewed paper of some significance, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, she's one of the few people in the world who has an Erdős-Bacon number (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%E2%80%93Bacon_number).

Hot damn, she's hot, she's a mathematician, she's an actress, and she has an Erdős–Bacon number of 6. I think I'm in love.

I'd stick my pencil in her textbook and solve for y. I might need her expertise help with the remainder though. :toast:

I'd like to divide the legs of her triangle and evaluate the multiplication function.

Erdős-Bacon number (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%E2%80%93Bacon_number).

I'm not even gonna try to understand this.

I've tried to listen to her talk in some videos and she bores the fuck out of me. Maybe with a little strip tease...

I'd invite her out to the movies and have a great time, and then not kiss her and wish I had, and then want to call her again but not know what we should do if we were to get together so never call her, and then later find out she got a boyfriend.

...yet.

I don't recognize her (probably because I'm European), but I'd add a bed, subtract her clothes, divide her legs and hope we don't multiply!

I want to knock her out, hide her in my closet covered in chocolate sauce and hold her for ransom.


Er...

He was honest too. And atleast he didn't make up some stupid bullshit.
