ha, probably. she's better looking than emmy noether anyway.

but the question came up and i had trouble thinking of one that was
even slightly good looking.

of my former professors, the only one who was even slightly good
looking was this guy

Evariste Galois was certainly cute.

So was Niels Henrick Abel.

Frederick Willhelm Bessel wouldn't scare anyone off.

That may be because most portraits of mathematicians date from
when they had become eminent and were quite old. It's harder to find
pictures of them when they were younger (and not eminent enough to be
worth painting); but if you track down some of those you may find them a
better-looking bunch than you thought. :-)
