Making Math Look Good

This article talks about how actress Danica McKellar wrote a book that is aimed at making math appealing to girls. I think that its a great idea because it gives girls an excellent example to follow. I guess not everyone is going to be like Lisa Simpson.

"When girls see the antics of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, they think that being fun and glamorous also means being dumb and irresponsible," says McKellar. "But I want to show them that being smart is cool. Being good at math is cool. "I want to tell girls that cute and dumb isn't as good as cute and smart."

Amen to that!
