商品描述
What's their hidden formula, their miracle recipe, their magic potion? In short, their secret? Laurent Pujo-Menjouet, a PhD in mathematics, might just have the answer. Not a spell or an incantation, but a formula--or more precisely, mathematical formulas. Could the solution to our romantic troubles lie in the very subject most of us once dreaded in school? If x and y could save your relationship, would you dare to venture into the mind of a mathematician to untangle matters of the heart?
From the earliest attempts to model love mathematically to his own groundbreaking research, Laurent Pujo-Menjouet reveals how love and mathematics can illuminate one another, showing that equations might help us rethink the way we connect, argue, and stay together. Drawing on insights from psychologists, economists, writers, filmmakers, and even his own experiences, he demonstrates that, much like Molière's Monsieur Jourdain, we often engage in mathematics without even realizing it. With clarity and charm, he invites us to explore love in all its complexity--stripping away the randomness and uncovering the patterns that shape our relationships.

他們的隱藏公式是什麼？他們的奇蹟食譜是什麼？他們的魔法藥水是什麼？簡而言之，他們的秘密是什麼？數學博士Laurent Pujo-Menjouet或許能給出答案。這不是咒語或咒文，而是一個公式——更準確地說，是數學公式。解決我們浪漫困擾的關鍵，是否就隱藏在大多數人曾經在學校裡畏懼的科目中？如果x和y能拯救你的關係，你是否敢於深入數學家的思維，來解開心靈的糾葛？
從最早的數學模型愛情的嘗試到他自己開創性的研究，Laurent Pujo-Menjouet揭示了愛與數學如何相互照亮，顯示方程式可能幫助我們重新思考彼此的聯繫、爭論和維持關係的方式。借助心理學家、經濟學家、作家、電影製作人甚至他自己經歷的見解，他展示了我們常常在不知不覺中參與數學，正如莫里哀的Monsieur Jourdain一樣。以清晰和魅力，他邀請我們探索愛的所有複雜性——剝去隨機性，揭示塑造我們關係的模式。
作者簡介
Laurent Pujo-Menjouet is a Professor of Mathematics at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 (France). Trained in applied mathematics, he conducted postdoctoral research at McGill University (Canada) and was an Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University (USA) before returning to France. His work uses dynamical systems to explore complex biological and medical phenomena, from epidemics and neurodegenerative diseases to radiobiology, bone formation, and blood disorders. More recently, he has turned his mathematical lens toward human behavior, including the dynamics of romantic relationships.

Laurent Pujo-Menjouet 是法國克勞德·伯納大學（Claude Bernard University Lyon 1）的數學教授。他接受了應用數學的訓練，並在加拿大麥吉爾大學（McGill University）進行了博士後研究，之後在美國范德堡大學（Vanderbilt University）擔任助理教授，隨後返回法國。他的研究利用動態系統來探索複雜的生物和醫學現象，涵蓋從流行病和神經退行性疾病到放射生物學、骨形成和血液疾病等領域。最近，他將數學的視角轉向人類行為，包括浪漫關係的動態。
