So there is a psychiatry-math connection?
What's the relation between chess and math?

Is that what you really meant?
I meant what I wrote.
but it was so vague!
as for your #151
True, it helps if your doctor begins writing your prescription from one side of the page to the other.
However most doctors seem to have devolved their writing style to their own unique glyphic set so pharmacists generally have to judge what medicine is required by the patient using telepathic means.
Psychiatry and math??? no way, definitely an art form. I think you can get one of those degrees with a B.A. hahaha

No logic involved in deciding what to write?

Statistics involved in psychiatry?
They look at whatever popular painting of a study drawn on randomly neglected or popular illnesses has been given the latest go ahead by the most persuasive pharmaceutical company and base prescriptions on that. It will be shown to be the completely WRONG script in 5 years time, unlike maths, where theories take centuries to be disproved and changed.
For one thing the body adjusts to most mind pills eventually anyway. so they lose most of their efficacy at time X.
I believe the most enduring and interesting statistic involved in psychiatry is why did the chicken Really cross the road.

Chess has tons of Mathematics in it:
1. Triangulation is a chess strategy and relates to Geometry.
2. Chess boards have Algebraic notation along its border.
3. Chess ratings are calculated using an Elo rating.
4. Acquiring the opposition is a chess strategy and relates to even and odd numbers.
There is more...

Is there tons of math in correctly playing an isolated queen pawn position?

Much math knowledge required to learn about these things?

It depends on what is happening on the board. For instance, you may want to add pieces to attack or defend an isolated queen pawn. However, if there's other things more important going on the board, an isolated queen pawn may be irrelevant.

Do grandmasters need to know the details of rating calculation?

Think there is much about math in GM Alexander Baburin's book?

I don't think that parallel lines, octogons, permutations, and combinations are mentioned very often in chess books. I don't think that grandmasters do much with numbers or squares that would be likely to appear in a math paper. I've tried to propose things for consideration that are somewhat related to the development of serious math skill or serious chess skill.
But these are applications of math to chess. So are triangulation... etc. Are they not?

Logic involved for the person writing the prescription?
