Mathematics and Sex

Didn't it catch you? The title is so attention-catching. It caught me too. And I started reading the book online actually because Trinity's Library doesn't have it in the hard copy format. I read two chapters and it indeed is amusing, something different than what I have read. It is funny and yet so appropriate. It describes about a story of love between Romeo and Juliet, and modifies it a bit and introduces differential equations with constants and variables and shows how more Romeo loves Juliet, the more she wants to get away (this is modified version, remember) and the more he gets away or less he pursues, the more Juliet comes towards him. It desribes about the graph functions and shows how their individual crest meets every quarter of a cycle, meaning that their positive feelings about each other concur at every 1/4 th time. I was fascinated by the descriptions and it would amuse any person with a decent interest in beauty of mathematics.

There is much more to the book and it describes about the number of sexual partners, how many times one has sex, sperm count and other various processes and shows how mathematics is in everything, we only need a keen eye to realize this.
