The Valenzetti Equation is a fictional book written by Gary Troup, as part of "The LOST Experience". The book describes the reclusive mathematician Enzo Valenzetti and his famous theorem, The Valenzetti Equation.

Gary Troup briefly discussed the book in part three, four and five of his interview with Laird Granger.

The official Valenzetti Equation Book website was launched in July 2006. This resource was confirmed as being canonical by Speaker's endorsement, although as part of an ARG it is considered semi-canonical. The site has since been shut down.

Publisher's summary

What if a mathematical equation could predict the apocalypse? Using recently-declassified material and hundreds of hours of interviews with former employees of the United Nations and prominent members of the defense and academic establishment, best-selling author Gary Troup turns his finely honed sense of mystery toward one of the most vexing mathematical riddles of our time.

Notes

The book is listed by its publisher Hyperion Publishing as being "Out of Print". According to the author, Alvar Hanso of the Hanso Foundation, has bought up all available copies and purchased all exclusive rights to reprint the book. It is presumed by the author that Alvar Hanso wanted to prevent the equation's disclosure as the theorem is one of the most closely guarded corporate secrets within the Hanso Foundation.

Season 2 DVD

The cover can be seen on a section on the Lost Connections feature. It can be found on the end of the appearances of the number 8.
