Jealousy, The Green-Eyed Monster As Constant Companion
Julia Sneden wrote: Once I finished school and started my own family, I began to envy the working women I knew, who didn't always smell of spit-up, and could afford nice clothes, or decide to see a movie whenever they wanted without worrying about finding a sitter. Back in the workforce after my children were older, I envied youngsters who were off to college, with all those possibilities open before them. And ultimately, of course, it occurred to me to envy retired folk, their lives unstructured or constrained by duties.

Reprising Kissing a Frog, A Math Problem for the Princess and A Mathematicians's Guide to Mating
From Prof. Billingham's essay: "I'm told that when men meet women, they sometimes rate each other on a scale of 1 to 10. Of course, mathematicians are far too intelligent and sophisticated do this. We rate people on a scale of 0 to 1. In our original mathematical model, all we could do was compare one possible frog with another. The numbers didn't mean anything in themselves; they just told the princess whether one frog was "better" than another. Let's change the fairytale slightly so that the 100 frogs are now labelled with numbers drawn randomly from those that lie between 0 and 1, with the handsome prince having the highest number. What's the princess's best strategy now?" more »
