The Secretary Problem: Mathematically Optimal Decision-Making in Choosing a Partner

The secretary problem, part of optimal stop theory, offers a mathematically correct way to know when to stop looking and choose someone.

Many people keep searching for the perfect person, but it's important to recognize and appreciate the great person you're with.
