Hannah Fry: The mathematics of love  (script)
Summary
Probably, many people think that mathematics is difficult. The mathematics can't be used for human emotion, because human emotion is disordered, illogical but unpredictable. However, mathematics is about the study of patterns. Various things that are even stock markets, weather, and love can be presented by patterns. So mathematics is powerful, excellent and familiar to you.
In this article, the speaker who is a mathematician says three things: how to win at online dating, how to pick the perfect partner and how to avoid divorce, are mathematically verifiable tips for love.
And then, the verification seemed to show that on an online dating website, you who are attractive doesn't become popular, it's better for a serious marriage partner to reject in the first 37 percent of your dating and positive conversations don't lead to divorce. The methods don't give you a 100 percent success rate, but those are interesting to know that there is really mathematical evidence. In other words, mathematics might be surprising simplicity to show love.
