I enjoyed reading Rachel Perkins’s column ranking majors by their sex appeal, but she left out one that should be very highly rated. That one is mathematics. Yes, this is a little-known fact, but it is true nonetheless. For instance, one of the specialties of math majors is the study of smooth curves. Math majors study relations in great detail, and their operations are associative. Did you know that their functions can be continuous? And they can be “discrete” too. Finally, math majors certainly know how to manage a conjunction!
