Mathematics of Love

Posted by Joe on May 25, 2009

Pre Script: If you are a normal person, please dont read forward.

Well Hi math folks. I know you guys are not normal. Who can call a person who is intersted in maths normal?
By the way my whole of MTech project was in maths. I had almost 150 new equations in my project thesis, revolving around probability and linear algebra. Now what I am working on is noway remotely linked to maths. So in order to use my talent which is not a common commodity, I have applied my mathematical skills to find whether I will have love marriage or arranged marriage. So here goes the analysis.

Let A be an event which represents Arranged marriage and L be an even which represents love marriage.
In Indian context, we can say that A and L are mutually exclusive.
ie P(A int L) =0  —-(1)
For the sake of simplicity, let us consider that I will definitely get married.
So P(A U L)=1 —-(2)
Using (1), we can easily deduct that
P(A)+P(L)=1  —-(3)

Eq (3) is very important in the context that just by finding the probability of Love marriage, we can find the probability of Arranged marriage and vice versa.
Let us calculate the probability of Love marriage.
For love marriage to happen, I should fall in love with a girl and the same girl should fall in love with me.
Let us declare a variable M to signify the event I am falling in love with a girl.
Similarly, let us declare a variable G to signify the event that a girl is falling in love with me.
As explained before, for love marriage, I should fall in love with a girl and the same girl should fall in love with me.
So with this representation, we can easily deduce that
P(L)=P(M int G) —-(4)
Eq (4) can be expanded as
P(L)=P(M/G)*P(G) —-(5)

Now there is no direct relation between M and G. So this can be solved by using constraints.
I know that I cant fall in love with a stupid girl. So let us represent stupid girl with the variable S.
There fore,
P(M/S)=0 —-(6)

And more over, if a girl is falling in love with me, she really is stupid.
ie
P(S/G)=1 —-(7)
ie
P(S int G)/P(G)=1 —-(8)
or P(S int G)=P(G) —-(9)
Eq (9) clearly specifies that G is a subset of S. Or in layman’s terms, not all Stupid girls will fall in love with me.

Now we have from Eq (6)
P(M/S)=0
Expanding, we get
P(M int S)/P(S)=0 —-(10)
or P(M int S)=0 —-(11)
As we have found above that G is a subset of S,
P(M int G) < P(M int S).
As from Eq (11), we have P(M int S)=0, we can deduce that
P(M int G)=0 —-(12) as the probability can’t be a negative value.
Using Eq (12) in Eq (4), we get
P(L)=0 —-(13)
So I can never get Love married.
Using the above equation in Eq (3), we get
P(A)=1.
So congrats mom, mine is Arranged marriage :)
But the above result also signifies that even if I get married, I and my wife cant love each other at the same time, as G is a subset of S. That means, I am royally screwed!!!!!

PS:int signifies intersection.
PS:If any one has any doubt in my proof, feel free to contact me.
PS:If any girl can understand this proof, then she can definitely become my lover. But according to the proof, she will not fall in love with me ;)
PS:If you are a total geek, you would have found that Eq (5) is of no use in this proof.

Final PS: Man this post is way too Geeky!!!!! What is happening to me :(

Somebody to love you – Queen

Posted by Joe on May 18, 2009

With Celina Jaitley being in the news almost on a daily basis supporting gay rights, the so called traditional indian society is waking up every day and is angered with the way the new india is heading. They must definitely think that the whole country is going to dogs.

Of course homosexual are not accepted in the traditional Indian homosapien society. The first question which is asked about a person who supports gay rights is “Are you gay?”. Any homosexual will definitely be looked down upon and more than 90% of the Indians are definitely homophobic. Gays give creeps to many than Lesbians (Male chauvinism?).

I was also one among them till today. I was randomly listening to various rock songs over youtube and I as I was searching for greatest hits, I came across the rock band Queen. Their songs were kind of good and they are the band which composed famous songs like “We will rock you”, “Somebody to love” and “We are the champions”. As usual, I was not looking at the video and was just listening to the audio. But when I saw the video, the lead singer Fredie Mercury’s actions were not normal. And through Wikipedia, I came to know that he is gay. This made me to think that just because he is gay, I didnt like his songs less. Infact his orientation should not come in the way of how he is singing and how talented he is.

So as long as they are not making a pass on me, I think I am fine with the homosexuals in the society. Still, thinking that a homosexual will make a pass on each and every guy is similar to equating a guy making a pass on each and every girl he sets his eye on, as he is straight. But still I dont know how I will react if I come to know if some one of my family is gay. I am still the one who wrote this post.
PS: Fredie Mercury died of AIDS.

Results finally

Posted by Joe on May 17, 2009

Finally the much awaited results for the Lok Sabha elections are out. And man.. What a result that is. I couldn’t have expected for a better result than this.
I have always thought that India is deeply divided on the communal and religious fronts, and the people never look out of the small boundaries that they are in. This election too proves that fact, but in a slightly different way. The people are now after development in the small boundaries that they live in. They don’t want to vote for some one just for the sake that they are from the same caste or from the same religion.

The election mandate in UP and Bihar is a clear indication of this trend. The people have given a clear verdict to Laloo and his clan, who ruled over Bihar for decades together and made Bihar the second rate state in the whole of India. The same is the case of UP, where Mayawati’s chief campaigning was to vote for her and make her PM because she is a dalit. These politicians never gave any promises, but dwelled upon their caste and community. From now on, may be they will atleast try to give something back to the community where they are from.

Left, living in a bygone past have been given a rude awakening to the things of the present.

But there are some setbacks too. I seriously wanted MK Alagiri to loose in Madurai. He is no more than an organized goon. By his victory, he will enter the National stage and will definitely harm the Indian politics more. I wanted a single party to have a majority than to have a coalition, as it will pave way for a stronger prime minister. Even though no one could question the determination of our prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh after the way he handled nuclear deal, a single party majority would have been better.
