The Mathematics of Sex

It's all about numbers. Figures can actually do a lot to (and for) you. All you have to do is get your mathematics.Just choose your fancy number and ignite the required spark required in your sex life.

Mathematics and Sex

One doesn't usually think about the terms "mathematics" and "sex" going together. Clio Cresswell is out to change that perception, and her attempt here is a witty, albeit slightly shallow, little book that's definitely worth a look if you enjoy either mathematics or sex.

Cresswell's approach to the topic is to treat readers like laypersons, which is much appreciated by those of us who are somewhat innumerate. Cresswell dedicates each of the book's chapters to one particular aspect of the dating and mating ritual and expounds upon current mathematical hypotheses that attempt to explain why we do the things we do. Perversely, if there is a failing to this approach, it's that Cresswell sometimes treats us a bit too much like laypersons; some more detail on how the equations scientists have come up with work would have been nice.

Very much for the non-mathematician (there is nothing requiring any mathematical skill, just interest) this well written and entertaining book demonstrates the ability of incredibly simple models to capture extremely interesting behaviour, and comments wryly on such imprtant issues as how many people one should date before settling on "the right one"
