I'm not a math major but I dabble in my spare time. It helps me with understanding the world. Makes it easier, for me, if I have a certain set of rules and can go from there in a more predictable manner.

Exactly! Math is a way to model patterns and behavior, it really becomes imbued with life & relevance when applied to the real world.

Taught by a Hopkins CS professor, the goal of this two-week course is to advance beginners to above average players by exploring the math and game-theoretical aspects of poker. Link includes course syllabus, course slides and videos.

Figured this might be fun for those of you looking to apply math & game theory to real-life!
