Im doing this for a project at school and would like to know which celebrities got their undergraduate degrees in mathematics. The odder the celebrity the better.

*Sub-question:
Do you often come across such stereotyping (that people try to pass off as valid information)?
+Details…
Colleague ‘A’ started a topic about a local celebrity scandal.
I remarked, “That doesn’t give us (our local industry) a very good track record, now does it?”
Colleague ‘B’ said, “That’s common. Look at celebrity ‘X’ (a different, very famous international celebrity).”
Me: “What wrong has she done? She has not broken any major laws, right?”
Colleague ‘B’: “You mean you don’t know? Drugs.”
Me: “Is there any evidence?”
Colleague ‘B’: “All celebrities do drugs.”
Colleague ‘A’ and I contribute no further to the conversation…
