The notion that mathematics is boring can be dispelled by this report. Some mathematicians at Cambridge have been advancing science and are reporting these findings:

“Jessica Alba, the film actress, has the ultimate sexy strut, according to a team of Cambridge mathematicians.

The academics found that it is the ratio between hips and waist that puts the sway into a woman’s walk - and the nearer that ratio is to 0.7, the better.”

The members of the group that did this research are not listed - perhaps for privacy reasons - perhaps for security reasons. My wild guess is that members of this team of dedicated mathematicians are mostly male. Of course, that is pure speculation…
