What idiot created math?

Yeah whatever

math is best ok it is used everywhere

idk who is it but I am pretty sure the knowledge they possess at that time is more than yours...

I wonder, can math be applied to emotions people experience?

For example, if someone is sad, mad, or glad because of a situation or circumstance (or a chess game), then can you plug and chug that into a formula to deduce mathematically what should happen and the results thereof? Does a person play better or worse chess when their feeling a certain way and what's the math behind it?

So, whats The math of this word problem of human behavior deduced from their emotional state?

And then there's also the question - do "vulcans" play better or worse chess overall based on their repressed emotions, trying to approach everything the most logically?

God create math

Maths are very good for chess. It will help you gain calculation.

No. God doesn't make mistakes.

@Approximation , I believe that math can EASILY be applied to emotions.

Each day at some fixed time, or perhaps at the middle of each waking hour of every day, one can inquire of one's self: "Self? How much _________ do you feel?" (Fill in the blank with an emotion to be investigated).

Then, at each inquiry, one could assign a score of, say, 1 through 10. or 1 through 5; after deciding that the larger number means "more" of the presence of the selected emotion. (The scoring system can be arbitrarily chosen, as long as it is applied consistently).

Then one can use the resulting statistics to explore one's relationship to that emotion.

I did that today, and discovered that whenever the hippo was discussed, my feelings of "elation" soared by a full point!

Perhaps it's coincidence. But I can continue to track the phenomenon.
