    Reader note

    In this book, mathematics is not cold symbols, but warm metaphors. It tells us that love can be understood, even if it cannot be fully explained. The story revolves around two long-distance relationships stemming from academic and professional pursuits, culminating in a reunion at the peak of their lives as better versions of themselves. The early chapters are quite mathematically demanding and a bit tedious; you can skip ahead if you wish.
