A perfect piece for Valentine's Day! In this charming short profile, producer Joe Bevilacqua tracks down his former mathematics professor Ron Reummler to hear how math can explain lost love.
A REVIEW of A Mathematical Valentine: **** Earnest, Edgy I like the feel of this piece particularly the idea that a math teacher is making an effort to console us in the world of endless emotion. Definitely timely and a breath of fresh air for the upcoming Valentines Day.

Review of "A Mathematical Valentine"
In this light-hearted piece, professor Ron Reummler informs us that there can be logic in the emotional world of love by stating, "Pleasure is the derivative of love". He must have been a great professor, because even while speaking in mathematical terms, it all makes perfect sense.
