“A smart, snappy guide to romance that dips into mathematical models…On-screen and on the page, Fry has a wry, chatty voice that illuminates age-old questions in brainy yet simple language.” (Washington Post)
Ken B. Smith said For Intellectuals Who Want To Look At Dating From A Different Perspective. Wow, for any intellectual who wants to look at dating from a different perspective, this book does a very, very good job of weaving complex theories in math, economics, and even psychology into the world of dating. The author definitely gets kudos for her job with her explanation of Nobel-prize winning ideas and relating them to the average person in the context of dating.Girls, this book explains (mathematically) why you're on the losing end of the stick if you don't approach guys. Guys, it is our privilege, not our burden to be the gender that does the approaching.. What an excellent read. I was drawn to this book based What an excellent read.

But that doesn’t mean that mathematics isn’t a crucial tool for understanding love.Love, like most things in life, is full of patterns. And mathematics is ultimately the study of patterns—from predicting the weather to the fluctuations of the stock market, the movement of planets or the growth of cities. Hannah Fry takes the listener on a fascinating journey through the patterns that define our love lives, applying mathematical formulas to the most common yet complex questions pertaining to love: What’s the chance of finding love? What’s the probability that it will last? How do online dating algorithms work, exactly? Can game theory help us decide who to approach in a bar? At what point in your dating life s
