Hardback. Condición: Good. In The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus, two distinguished mathematicians explain, with humor and clarity, mathematical concepts through one very merry motif: Christmas. Lighthearted and diverting with Christmasy diagrams, sketches and graphs, equations, Markov chains, and matrices, The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus brightens up the bleak midwinter with stockingsful of mathematical marvels. How do you apply game theory to select who should be on your Christmas shopping list? What equations should you use to decorate the Christmas tree? Will calculations show Santa is getting steadily thinner--shimmying up and down chimneys for a whole night--or fatter--as he munches on cookies and milk in billions of houses across the world? In their quest to provide mathematical proof for the existence of Santa, the authors take readers on a festive journey through a traditional holiday season. Every activity, from wrapping presents to playing board games to cooking the perfect turkey, is analyzed through the lens of math. Because who hasn't always wondered how to set up a mathematically perfect Secret Santa? This book belongs under your Christmas tree if you enjoy a spice of math in your eggnog.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. In this must-have for anyone who wants to better understand their love life, a mathematician pulls back the curtain and reveals the hidden patterns--from dating sites to divorce, sex to marriage--behind the rituals of love. The roller coaster of romance is hard to quantify; defining how lovers might feel from a set of simple equations is impossible. 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. These patterns twist and turn and warp and evolve just as the rituals of love do. In The Mathematics of Love, Dr. Hannah Fry takes the reader 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 should you settle down? From evaluating the best strategies for online dating to defining the nebulous concept of beauty, Dr. Fry proves--with great insight, wit, and fun--that math is a surprisingly useful tool to negotiate the complicated, often baffling, sometimes infuriating, always interesting, mysteries of love.…
