yes I am the mathematician who's gonna get use so late and %HESITATION to begin I need you to stare at this equation I mean this her first orgasm right there on notice but these are of very sophisticated equations that model a successful marriage and they groundbreaking equations because it was the first time that truly sophisticated mathematics %HESITATION was used in the field of romance and they
predict with ninety five percent accuracy rate where the newlyweds will be together in six years time and you can see that as the W. for a wife in the H. husband and does so they modeled newlyweds talking about %HESITATION areas of contention like the in laws or money and then they model the responses according to how each part was responding to the other a body language
as well and so what came out was this interesting influence factor at the end there which actually revealed that couples that responded the least to each other had a better chance of a successful marriage so that means I see some people like we knew that %HESITATION so couples that compromised the least ended up being together the most and this was very interesting because a lot of
therapy has been based on empathy and you laughed before so maybe you don't say when your Papa comes home yet standing on no let me rub your feet and fix your martini because what they've actually found is that might not be the best way forward maybe the best way of the mathematics revealed that having high standards and finding ways to reach for those standards is in
fact the way to go so mathematics is the study of patents all the symbols that you see are in fact Patton's you know encapsulating patents and we're very used to seeing mathematics being used in %HESITATION physics and engineering but that's just because it's being that the most you know equals MC squared with that that's so early nineteen hundreds there's actually been an evolution since the eighties
we've seen mathematics venture into our stock market analysis risk analysis that was you new and then since the nineties all to thousands even where it's saying mathematics and turned to the sometimes called softer sciences like psychology sociology anthropology biology and %HESITATION site numismatics appears every day some Gordon a few just a remind you of how that works so you some latest research this is looking at
anti biotic use and %HESITATION how to implement antibiotics for tuberculosis while getting the patient healthy but making sure that we avoid antibiotic resistance that came out couple weeks ago and this is looking at how an opinion spreads %HESITATION through a population and when will you have the co existence of several opinions or one B. consensus one of my favorite that's a little bit older I couldn't
resist this one's from two thousand nine and this is how to create the perfect chocolates one that melts in your mouth but not in your hands and %HESITATION yes Liza very sexy equations on for you agree anyway so mathematics is absolutely everywhere these days it's being used everywhere so it really is no surprise that now is seeing the equations for love now love socks I know
you'll know that's because yes your excited at first but then you scared on my going to have an eight would you sitting looking at your front please ring please ring then it they send you to a text no I of its own like don't become %HESITATION %HESITATION and so these equations look out which personality traits are more likely to come together to have a more stable
companionship taught love because some people it just ends up being up and down continues I mean imagine being in a relationship with Charlie Sheen that would be like well on like Donkey Kong and also I'm like idiots gets a bit out of control mathematically quite fast so I just tell you it's about %HESITATION one US thing to look out for is if you'll pardon if you
overestimate upon his qualities so with partners we can behave a bit like proud parents you know on cis monies to sexy and everyone's a staring this guy like me anyway here's some more mathematics now men report on average having had sex with two to four times as many women than women to men and this does not make sense it doesn't I know you're all thinking but
what about prostitutes for Brian bad mother go everyone thought about my I slept with everybody no every time a man has sex with a woman their averages for other things but in a large enough sample space it's going to be about the same not off like these so his example his Charlie Sheen he's had sex with everyone then the next guy only one one one not
forces you see the outcome for the women the first ones had won the others how to partners each and two four six eight nine non divided by five and on the right five six seven eight nine nine divided by five every time a man has six to the woman it's adding to the general tally of both sides now why is that this discrepancy because %HESITATION the
surveys a confidential in on identifying and items I've yes but Kiki things people are very honest so what we've tried to is we think it's counting strategy because if you enumerates you'll be prone to an under estimation and a few approximate you'll be prone to an overestimation so it seems women are going you know Justin Brad the guy with the sixty biceps the end and manic
going twenty a year for the last five years my favorite %HESITATION clue you in all that also was that eighty percent of men's results we divisible by five so it goes the mathematicians lying me and I %HESITATION %HESITATION back to some more a waves of course there are ways in women's hormones %HESITATION and these equations look at %HESITATION what kind of mechanism is in a woman's
body that the twenty eight how does your body know twenty eight days of gone by and it's based on understanding why women have all the immature eggs at both ready to go %HESITATION but look we hear so much about women's it women's hormones are brought in men's as well %HESITATION these I these are real anomie human hope these model the relationship the %HESITATION between the brain
and the testes are as the fluctuation happens %HESITATION during the day so %HESITATION Bruce Israel testosterone for example has a peak in the morning and a slump in the evening box there's actually a mini testosterone paid every two to two and a half hours %HESITATION in between so you know what that means was specially women you know if you ask I favor and he's not responding
just wait how often our house again this time just try and get that slumped moments it's got its purposes so the peak has another purpose as well and look yes this is all great fun and I could carry on with phone masts and six problems for hours but ultimately what I'm about these are amazing brain and the impacts of abstract thinking and the power of abstract
thinking and so little time things look around you and say what do you think happens if you think about sex before doing mathematics because it's actually not super distracting are you actually become better at doing certain types of brain processes stands out as two fundamental types of brain processes you ought to think globally or locally forest or trees and when you solving a problem you often
starts with the global kind of analysis and then you have to digging deep and follow leads to solutions and it turns out the way now saying with the latest research that this is linked to creative versus analytical thinking and more than that we find that funding that is actually very easily manipulated so if you get people to think about love and then solve problems they'll be
better at the globalization the beginning the creative pause and if you get sick people to think about sex they get better at the process pot of %HESITATION the problem solving easy is that and here's the big question that interests me what is this thing called mathematics that's only been gone for about two thousand years the popped up independently across the world that so many people swear
they con to see this something that's not quite reconciling there this summer become have something that's developed so recently with some people just having an extra brain bits nod that doesn't make sense it's about finding those right Trigon's and %HESITATION his report school report card of mine %HESITATION in French %HESITATION my parents of these wild wild travel is always looking for all parties I'm actually the
conservative offspring of some %HESITATION crazy wild people and %HESITATION as you see we lived in can whatever great parties that but more importantly and you can see two out of twenty for mathematics and my best results was a fifteen foot trouble manually technique which is would work so it's very clear to me what life is like without mathematics and once I found mathematics at eighteen when
I came to Australia it was the first time that I was connecting to something pure to something that was so amazing you see pattern recognition %HESITATION is Russia at the core of the animal kingdom you see even reptiles recognize whether it's something to eat fought or have sex with and %HESITATION even a jellyfish knows which way is up in which ways down now the seeds of
the number concepts are also very much part of the animal kingdom a pack of animals will recognize whether another pack is greater than the eyes and you can actually teach a rat to press a lever an approximate number of times to get food now you see I use the word approximates that's because the rat doesn't have self awareness or linguistic ability to capture tying those innate
sensations so if the rash has just tapping three times one two three o'connor rot but once he gets to sixteen the poor little rat is like tapping away doesn't awaits reaching an effect is the same with us if you do an experiment but we count countout who make exactly the same stakes as the rats now %HESITATION we went further we went things like two plus five
it was five plus two I can swap the order of things and storage the same results we went for the still a plus be equals be plus say I can substitute any of the infinite number of numbers that I'm now wear off in that formula and it means the same thing you see language is more than just %HESITATION naming things with it we also got cause
and effect and Timpul reasoning and you see mathematics is almost precise use of this syntactical understanding because with mathematics at each step that you're creating the patent linking discovery there's no ambiguity it is very precise what you're doing it each step what is in each classification true or false that sit in the box you know or outside the box it's very clear ultimate precision %HESITATION and
that is why mathematics is so powerful in being used more more right through to sex and that's why it's so hard because you using the limits of our evolution rights to their extreme out way using what taming those in that sensations with the most ultimate precision we can you see I mean mathematics as you can see it's just what so breathtaking is that it emerged independently
across the globe and where people came together in peace or war they may have clashed when it came to religion %HESITATION cultures languages but they mathematics or pule pattern recognition just messed you see mathematics lies right at the roots of humanity like sex it transcends human culture and now that I share that with you you aw the sixties lays in town thank you very much
