Math by *Harleyquinn911:iconHarleyquinn911:

Categories Literature > Prose > Fiction > General Fiction


If Math is nothing but a Language, and Language is a way to express Love. Then Love is Math.

This would make sense, after all this is nothing but an equality. I could preform a proof for you if you need reassuring, but I digress.

The only problem with the above proof is the application. If Love is a variable, you can never solve for it. Love has no right solution. You can never graph Love. Love is always discontinuous, finding the derivative will only give you a headache. There is no Limit as Love goes to Zero nor Infinity. And I don't even want to think about its integral. There is nothing about Love that is Math.

Love has no equations, no rules, no theorems, or postulates. There is no solution for Love. Why care for something so confusing?

I'll just will stick with my numbers, triangles, x's, and y's. I'll say with my Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra, and Calculus. I adore my proofs, my calculator, and my ruler.

After all if Love is Math then, you have to remember that equalities are commutative.  Therefore, Math is Love.

Let the nerd jokes commence.

EDIT: I fixed a few things to make it flow a bit better.

I escaped NaNoWriMo for about 15 mins to write this. This is for #Writers-Workshop for the "More Metaphor, Please!" Workshop. I'm not too proud of this but I hope you enjoy it. Word count: 188.

Critiques are welcome.

I like it. And it sort of makes sense?

Thanks. I hope it makes sense though this isn't my best attempt so I would understand if it doesn't. Thanks for the comment

I think it makes sense, but I'm a bit crazy, so I am most likely not the best of judges for things that make sense.

Math is love? Love is Math? That's the most horrifying thing I've heard all day! :fear:

On a serious note, I'm semi math illiterate, so parts of this were hard to digest. The one thing that bothers me the most, though, is that you seem to contradict yourself. In the beginning and ending paragraphs you say Math = Love, but in the middle you come to the conclusion that love isn't math because it has no rules or solutions. You say you'll stick to your theorems and postulates and ignore love altogether, but then you say math is love again? What? I think this would make a lot more sense if you omit the last sentence.

Besides that minor problem I do think the metaphor is original and interesting - as long as you stick to one point of view.

I liked the "If this then..." part at the beginning, and most of the other math lingo. The sentence about limits was a little rough, as I don't think the 'nor' was utilized correctly.

It was slightly confusing if you were proving a metaphor or disproving it in the middle, when you said Love isn't this this and this. But I did like the end.

Terrifying isn't it?

Thanks for the comment. I see what you are saying about it being contradicting, though I really liked the last sentence. I changed a few things in the middle so hopefully it works better now. Once again, Thanks.

I changed the part in the middle so its not so confusing now, hopefully. About the nor I think I used it correctly since the limit can go to zero or go to Infinity. Its saying that it goes to neither. I know parts of it are confusing but its suppose to be funny for math nerds, such as myself. Thanks for the comment. :D

This brings my mind to xkcd. Love is the variable with no given value. I find love to be as pi. Infinitesimal, and its exact value will never be known. We summarize love to a definition of a feeling, as we summarize pi to 3.14

From now on, 3:14 will be known to me as the moment for love.

You think I don't know you
You think change follows time
So what's changed about my rhyme?

The derivative of love is company, and it's integral is God. :P

I really like the idea you have here, although, as you implied, the prose is a little bit rough. (It sounds like you know how to change that, though, so I won't go on about it.)

Very nice metaphor - and I agree that it's quite like xkcd.

love is not maths, nor maths is love, because as ya said maths is a language, languages express love in various ways, so if love is expressive through maths, it won't be but a math error!

for me, love can't be expressed in any language, love is love, no word can be enough to do the job, and the simplest things might help ya, but you have to be true!
integrate all the good in the world, and maybe then you will find your word, or expression, or feeling, or aim..
