Women are like cars. You can trade her in for a newer & younger model. But when you miss your old car, it'll have become a classic and out of your price range.

Love is complicated.
But the mathematics of it is very simple:
- It starts with "I love you"
where "I love" is a constant
and "you" is a variable.
- Later on, it is: 1 + 1 = 1
- And later still: 1 + 1 >= 3
Any questions?
Now, let us explore the mechanics of love.
Heart
Love comes from the heart.
The mathematical equation of the heart is:
To see the above graph, go to WolframAlpha website http://www.wolframalpha.com/
At the input area, type in: (y - 0.75|x|)^2 + (0.75x)^2 = 1
And you'll see the heart curve.
You get a slightly different shape of the heart
by changing the value of 0.75.
Have a try at 0.6 or 0.9 or other values.
I find 0.75 more aethetically pleasing.
Actually, it just strikes me
that the following parametrised equation (y - a|x|^b)^2 + (cx)^2 = d (where you can set the values of the parameters
a, b, c and d)
can draw just about any heart shaped curve
that one can imagine (and more) ...
I'm claiming this parametrised equation as Paul Ma's Heart Equation.
By setting a=0.75, b=1, c=0.75 d=1
into Paul's Heart Equation,
it becomes the previously mentioned heart curve.
If you set a=1, b=0.5, c=1 d=4,
you'll produce: (y - |x|^0.5)^2 + x^2 = 4
Type the above into the WolframAlpha input area
and you'll see that its heart is pretty good looking too: How about you have a go at various other values
of the parameters a, b, c, d ?
If you discover other good sets of values to use,
I would be interested to hear from you.
Boomerang
Now, when you give out love,
love always comes back to you.
Hence you expect the mathematical equation
of a boomerang to be similar to that of a heart, right ?
Indeed it is.
Set a=0.5, b=1, c=0.13, d=1
in Paul's Heart Equation to produce: (y - 0.5|x|)^2 + (0.13x)^2 = 1
Type the above into WolframAlpha and you'll get:
Does love make the world go round?
Well, the heart certainly makes the world go round.
Take a look at Paul's Heart Equation again: Let a=0, b=any, c=1, d=1
and it becomes a perfect circle ! y^2 + x^2 = 1 But in a real world nothing is ever so perfect.
There are always pits and bumps.
Set a=1, b=0.5, c=1, d=500 and you'll get: (y - |x|^0.5)^2 + x^2 = 500
Penis
Of course, you can't talk about love
without mentioning the penis.
The mathematical equation of an aroused penis is: y = |sin(x)| + 5*exp(-x^100)*cos(x) from -3 to 3
Type the above into Wolframalpha to produce A limp penis: (by ShmemicalShmengineer in Reddit) 0 = 2.8x^2(x^2(2.5x^2+y^2-2)+1.2y^2(y(3y-0.75)-6.0311)+3.09)
+ 0.98y^2((y^2-3.01)y^2+3) - 1.005
A fat one in polar form: y = Cos(x) + Cos(2x) polar
Above equation was taken from somewhere
on the internet few years ago.
Unfortunately, now I couldn't find the source
nor the author anymore :-(
Post Script
There are other equations for the heart.
(y^2 + x^2 - 1)^3 - (x^2)*(y^3) = 0 Here is another one: x^2 + (y - (2(x^2+|x|-6)) / (3(x^2+|x|+2)))^2 = 36 Using 2 equations: y = (1-(|x|-1)^2)^0.5 and y = -3(1-(|x|/2)^0.5)^0.5
from -2 to 2 In polar form: y = x polar (x from -1.5pi to 1.5pi) Another one in polar form: y = (sin(x) sqrt(|cos(x)|) / (sin(x) + 1.4)) - 2sin(x) + 2
polar And another one in polar form.
This equation has a name, called a Cardioid: y = 1 - sin(x) polar
Its corresponding Cartesian equation is: (x^2 + y^2 + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2
In 3D (x^2 + 2.25y^2 + z^2 - 1)^3 - (x^2)(z^3) - 0.1125(y^2)(z^3) = 0

The A26 road in Sri Landa ... It starts at Kandy, passes through Digana, Teldeniya, Medamahanuwara, Hunnasgiriya, Udadumbara, Mahiyangana and Belilgalla to reach Padiyathalawa. It is well known for its 18 consecutive hairpin turns.
Christ the Redeemer of the Andes (Spanish: Cristo Redentor de los Andes) is a monument high in the Andes at 3,832 metres (12,572 ft) above sea level on the border between Argentina and Chile. It was unveiled on 13 March 1904 as a celebration of the peaceful resolution of the border dispute between the two countries.
The statue is located at the pass of La Cumbre, the highest point on the old road between Mendoza in Argentina and Santiago de Chile. The pass is also known as the Church (Iglesia) Pass on the Chilean side and the Bermejo Pass on the Argentine side. The road climbs 1 km over a sinuous 9 km from Las Cuevas (the closest village at the foot of the climb) to the pass.
The road is now principally used as a tourist route to visit the statue, with the main route between the two countries now using the Cristo Redentor Tunnel at the foot of the climb.
Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America, is that big mountain to the right of the centre of the above photo. I climbed it a few days earlier ... write up and photos of the Aconcagua climb are in my blog: http://mntviews.blogspot.com/2009/01/2009-jan-argentina-aconcagua.html
Goblin Shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) is a rare, poorly understood species of deep-sea shark. Sometimes called a "living fossil". This pink-skinned animal has a distinctive profile with an elongated, flattened snout, and highly protrusible jaws containing prominent nail-like teeth. It is usually between 3 and 4 m (10 and 13 ft) long when mature. Goblin Sharks inhabit upper continental slopes, submarine canyons, and seamounts throughout the world at depths greater than 100 m (330 ft), with adults found deeper than juveniles.
The long snout is covered with ampullae of Lorenzini that enable it to sense minute electric fields produced by nearby prey, which it can snatch up by rapidly extending its jaws.
