Maths at: Valentine's day

from Maths at: Hosted by Thomas E. Woolley, Ben M. Parker, The Wonderful Liz

Although we've finished our first series, we couldn't miss St Valentine's day. What could be more romantic than scientifically analysing love and romance using mathematics? Amongst other things we discuss: Why should you dump the first 37% of your partners? How many snogs away from Prince Charles are you? Are you a validator or an avoider? Join your hosts as they show you their romantic side and be surprised that any of them actually have partners! Further reading links: Ben's bunkum length of love formula; Drawing hearts graphically; Jim Murray's Maths of Marriage book or online lecture; Mobius strip earrings, for you significant other.
