Synopsis

This excellent resource on the mathematics of love dynamics is suitable whether the reader pursues research or pleasure. The authors not only define and analyse mathematical models of love dynamics, but show why the results of applicable models mimic reality. The authors do a great job balancing the book between chapters which are mathematically intensive and chapters which require almost no mathematics to comprehend. - Mathematical Reviews Clippings

This book shows, for the very first time, how love stories - a vital issue in our lives - can be tentatively described with classical mathematics. Focus is on the derivation and analysis of reliable models that allow one to formally describe the expected evolution of love affairs from the initial state of indifference to the final romantic regime. The models are in full agreement with the basic philosophical principles of love psychology. Eight chapters are theoretically oriented and discuss the romantic relationships between important classes of individuals identified by particular psychological traits. The remaining chapters are devoted to case studies described in classical poems or in worldwide famous films.
