This book shows, for the very first time, how love stories - a
vital issue in our lives - can be tentatively described with
classical mathematics. Focus is on the derivation and analysis of
reliable models that allow one to formally describe the expected
evolution of love affairs from the initial state of indifference to
the final romantic regime. The models are in full agreement with
the basic philosophical principles of love psychology. Eight
chapters are theoretically oriented and discuss the romantic
relationships between important classes of individuals identified
by particular psychological traits. The remaining chapters are
devoted to case studies described in classical poems or in
worldwide famous films.

Ecology studies biodiversity in its variety and complexity. It
describes how species distribute and perform in response to
environmental changes. Ecological processes and structures are
highly complex and adaptive. In order to quantify emerging
ecological patterns and investigate their hidden mechanisms, we
need to rely on the simplicity of mathematical language. Ecological
patterns are emerging structures observed in populations,
communities and ecosystems. Elucidating drivers behind ecological
patterns can greatly improve our knowledge of how ecosystems
assemble, function and respond to change and perturbation.
Mathematical ecology has, thus, become an important
interdisciplinary research field that can provide answers to
complex global issues, such as climate change and biological
invasions. The aim of this book is to (i) introduce key concepts in
ecology and evolution, (ii) explain classic and recent important
mathematical models for investigating ecological and evolutionary
dynamics, and (iii) provide real examples in
ecology/biology/environmental sciences that have used these models
to address relevant issues. Readers are exposed to the key
concepts, frameworks, and terminology in the studies of ecology and
evolution, which will enable them to ask the correct and relevant
research questions, and frame the questions using appropriate
mathematical models.
