Math question from a newbie

[Scorpius]

Can anyone tell me for poker the most important factors to calculate in mathematical terms. For example, the particular mathematical calculations that would help take one's game to another level. Or is the math really not that important beyond the pot odds calculations. The books go into pot odds, implied odds, odds against making a certain hand, probability of making a certain hand, etc. There are all kinds of statistics you could calculate, but the books and articles never say exactly which of all these things is the MOST critical to learn to apply during play. I mean if you were to ask the top level pro who uses math the most, what is it that he/she would be calculating...just pot odds, or other factors, and if so what other factors are most important??? This may be a stupid question to the rest of you, but for me it is a confusing thing and I really need some clarity. Thanks.
