Interesting as the quote was made by a famous male mathematician in the 1950's.

It was a lyric in the song Alma LINK
Tom Lehrer earned his AB in mathematics (magna cum laude) from Harvard University in 1946, when he was 19. He received his MA degree the next year, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. He taught classes at MIT, Harvard, and Wellesley.
He remained in Harvard's doctoral program for several years, taking time out for his musical career and to work as a researcher at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. He served in the U.S. Army from 1955 to 1957, working at the National Security Agency. (Lehrer has stated that he invented the Jell-O Shot during this time, as a means of circumventing liquor restrictions.)
