Love Is Mathematics One book I'm reading for my master's degree is called "Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos". One example in the book models two lovers, Romeo and Juliet. By choosing how they react to each other's love as well as their own feelings, it is possible to determine if they will fall in love, or hate each other's guts, or have unrequited love. A team from the University of Washington has quantified marriage in terms of how couples resolve conflict. From this, they chart the course of the relationship and can predict how long it will last. The relationships are most likely to last when the couples resolve conflicts in the same way. They are classified as "avoiders" who never argue, "volatile" for those who argue all the time, and "validating" for those who argue occasionally and respect each other's opinions. Barbie and Ken lasted 43 years. Is your relationship doomed, or will you be happy (and for how long)? Read more. |
