TALK about a class act.
She's is best known for her portrayal of strait-laced Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, but Danica McKellar has stripped off to promote her new book - about maths, FOXNews.com said today.
The actress-turned-mathematician, who is about to release her third book, Hot X: Algebra Exposed in August, posed almost naked for the latest issue of Maxim.
She explains to the magazine that her books are intended "to help girls who (believe) that stigma that math is only for guys or you have to be a nerd to like math".
Instead, she said: "Let’s make math fun and sexy and glamorous. Smart is sexy, that’s one of my main messages."
The actress, who has been married for a little over a year and is expecting her first child later this year, finds guys with good maths skills sexy.
"It’s really cool when a guy tips 20 per cent quickly and effortlessly so that when the check comes, he opens it and signs his name and done," she said.
McKellar said she enjoyed the racy shoot, calling it "fun".
"We went with a collegiate theme with some knee socks which are always fun," the 35-year-old said.
McKellar has previously admitted that her transition from playing Fred Savage's girlfriend in The Wonder Years to more adult roles "was a little bumpy".
She briefly returned to regular television with a recurring role in the 2002-03 season of The West Wing.

junk food-final draft
Junk food is defined as food that is unhealthy and have low nutritional value(Family Joural 2005).Junk food have been related to many problems like health and behaviour.The problems seems more serious among the teenagers. Statistic shows that most of the foods consumed at home by 12-14 years old Australian Children consist a lot of fat and sugar more than recommended intake (Australian Nutrition Journal 2004).Teenagers usually get their junk food from school canteen.So,an issue have arise whether the selling of junk food should be banned or not?I absolutely agree it should be banned as it caused health problem,triggers behavioural problem and leads to litter problem.
One of the reason is that Junk food caused health problems.It contains a lot of fat,salt and sugar(Family Journal 2005).All this ingredients can cause obesity.Another ingredient in junk food that is found to be a threat is chemical addictives.Most of this substances can cause behavioural problems like hyperactive and poor concentration(Family Journal 2005).In addition,childhood obesity can lead to future cases of heart disease,osteoarthtitis and some cancers.
Students that have large proportion of junk food in their food intake will not managed to get nutrients they need for healthy developement and growth,and thus their learning potential is reduced(Caputo 2005).More worsen to this fact is most youngster nowadays have less participate in physical activities.Statistic show 18% of Australian school students never involved in physical activities and 40& only involves in weekend(Weekend News 2005).This will also lead to a health problems as been stated earlier.
Next,fast food packaging is the majority contribution to litter problems(Family Journal 2005).If sells of junk food is banned school groundsmen does not have to spend so long cleaning the grounds and thus they can concentrate on maintanence project which benefit the school itself(Green 2005).Also,the litter from junk food have caused the cleaning cost to increase also it reflects a bad image of the community.
In a nut shell,I strongly believed that the selling of junk food should be banned as this step can help to reduce many problems like health,behaviour and litter.Students can improve their self and also the environment if they can cut down their in take on junk food.
