Book Description

This book collects popular essays from the renowned Cranberry-Lemon University Press’s most illustrious scholars. Despite their questionable research methods, bizarre obsessions, personal vendettas, and often stunning lack of impartiality, the authors have irrefutably broken new ground academically. How to Prove Anything sheds new light on a wide range of topics.

Famed academics Dr. Tiffany Love and Dr. Chad Broman present a glimpse into their shared life via a series of papers that unravel the mysteries of modern romance. From time series analysis of mood swings to Pavlovian behavioral modification to sub-Nyquist sampling for balancing relationship attention with videogame performance, Chad and Tiffany find new and often startling uses for tried-and-true algorithms, gaining insights from which we can all benefit.

Can I avoid arguments by predicting moods with time series analysis? Can linear programming help us determine who should do the dishes? And, most pressingly of all… Can I fix him?

Academic writing has brought new knowledge into the world for hundreds of years. This book may be the most vital contribution of all.
